Update

[alexmegami]

Surgery is over; from what's been said, it sounds like most of the thymus was removed, although the surgeon had to leave small parts that had attached to her heart and lungs behind (he was afraid of causing a stroke).

It looks like parts of it may have been malignant, and the bits he left behind - well, he's not sure if it's scar tissue or cancerous growth, so they're going to put her in radiation therapy to get rid of the last of it.

Will do (same number as always?).

She's going to be spending most of today sedated, so we're not going to see her until tomorrow. I'll give y'all another update then.

I'm glad the surgery went well, and based upon what you've told me of your Mom, she'll recover quickly. Make sure she relaxes and spends all of her energy getting better, and I'm sure she'll be fine soon enough.

If you need me, just call Ali-my-love. I'll send all of my best wishes your way. ^_^

[alexmegami]

Thank you, love. :) I'll see you tomorrow, and you can give me all your best wishes then.

Oh wow. I hope you'll all be okay.

[alexmegami]

I'm sure we will be. Mom's strong, and has kept herself very healthy other than this, so I'm sure she'll be able to fight it off.

At the risk of you know..repeating what everyone else has said, I hope you and your family is okay. If you have any questions or what not, drop me a line. I know we haven't known each other that long, but I'm still here if you need me.

[alexmegami]

Thanks. I'll be around tomorrow, so...

Major well-wishing your way. **********HUGS********** I really hope your Mom feels better soon.

[alexmegami]

*hugs back* Thanks. I'll be sure to pass that on if she's awake today.

[sasuran.livejournal.com]

*HUGS* If there's anything I can do, just let me know. *HUGS*

I hope it all works out for your mom!

[alexmegami]

Thank you!

[arcanajester.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I really really hope that the therapy takes and that she gets all sorts of better soon! *hugz*

[alexmegami]

Me too. Thanks :) *hugs*

Oh, gosh, this all happened when I missed a chunk of LJ. I hope your mum is continuing to heal well and be well, and that the rest of your fam and you are doing okay. <3 *hugs*

[alexmegami]

*hugs back* As I've mentioned to others: she is well enough to be bitching about her nurses, so I think she's well on the mend ;)

[safti]

Oh, lovely. :)
