So Friday my mother in law had to have kidney surgery. The mass was causing her right kidney to be blocked. They got in her and had to put stints in both kidneys. She went in Monday morning for a biopsy because there was a tumor and a mass. We got the results back today.... its her cancer again. The same cancer as before. They said they can shrink it but not to a zero. ... the mass is around the pelvic bone.... and the tumor is in the fatty tissue.. my question is... couldn't they do surgery to remove that stuff?? I am sooo upset.. she starts chemo yet again on friday. the doctor wanted to talk prognosis but she didnt want to hear it.. which i understood completely. I just know that since he wanted to talk prognosis... its not good.. because before they didn't even say anything about prognosis or staging it or anything... keep her in ur thoughts and prayers.... the family is going through a tough time. Her husband wants her to go to a place 4 hours awsay.. but why would she do that when this dr. is a cancer dr... and has all her history.... thats why i was wondering if they could remove it or not.... thanks for listening.. i just got back and am very upset...
