Good News!!!

Hi Everyone,

I just thought I would update you on what we have found out regarding my moms health. She went to the Mayo Clinic yesterday and after having several tests done all last week, they finally gave her the news. The mass that they found is a fibroid tumor. The doctor said that these are never cancerous and that a lot of women get them after having a hysterectomy. My mom had a hysterectomy in 1985 and they had to leave her cervix in because she was bleeding so badly. This mass is just residue from the surgery and is connected to her cervix. They said that she may not even have to have surgery. However, because of this mass her bladder has fallen and they said that in the near future she is going to have to get that repaired and when they do that, they will most likely have to remove the cervix along with this mass.

The doctor was not concerned regarding the lesions on her liver. She said that a lot of people have them. My mom is so relieved along with the rest of us. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and concerns. God truly heard them!
