I created this page as a means of keeping Family and Friends informed of Mom’s ongoing health issues.  It’s not meant to be impersonal–but it is a way to conveniently and consistently provide communication to the people who love and care about Mom.  After the initial post, I’ll add updates at the top to keep it easy to read “the latest” as things develop.

Comments are active. Thank you all for your thoughts and concern.

April 5th, 2026 – The Story so far…

Last Fall Mom had a routine chest x-ray.  The results included a note to follow up in 6 weeks.  Neither Mom nor her doctor noticed the note, but by February someone at the radiologist noticed and contacted Mom to schedule a follow up.

The reason for the follow-up was because a mass had been detected in her upper right lung.  Comparison between the two x-rays indicated that there had been slow growth.  Subsequent CT/PET scans have confirmed and refined this.  In an effort to determine what this mass is, a biopsy will be performed on Monday, April 6th.
