Grandma Update

TheZooCrew Jan 03, 2012 04:13 PM

After the biopsy on Grandma's kidney turned out malignant, the doctor ordered some more tests to see if the cancer spread although he was pretty confident that it hadn't. He was wrong. There is only the one tumor that is about 1 and 1/2 inch on one kidney, but they also found spots on both lungs. So Grandma has lung cancer in addition to renal cancer.

The kidney specialist is recommending an injection to treat the tumor on the kidney. He said that this injection freezes the tumor and makes it dissolve and go away. Grandma doesn't have enough kidney function left to remove any of the kidney.

He didn't have any recommendations about the spots on Grandma's lungs. She has to see a lung specialist next Tuesday.

Grandma and Mommy are both furry upset. Please crank up the GLOW and PRAYERS for both of them.

Purrs,

BamBam
