sending out healing vibes to steve-o's mom

and Hozomeen! Welcome back! We missed you!

Your mom is in good hands with the staff at Cleveland Clinic. I'll put in some hopeful thoughts for you both.

Well, things took a bit of a negative turn. Last Mon. 2/23 my Mom started coughing up blood and was admitted to a hospital here in Erie. They determined that it was probably the tumor bleeding so they took here by ambulance to the Cleveland Clinic where her cancer Dr. is located. He also felt it was the tumor bleeding and that it may have progressed to another stage. They performed another test to see if it had spread to her lymph nodes, it did not!!! Not out of the woods yet he wanted to see if it had spread upwards to her brain, and so another test was performed to check her brain, it has not spread there yet either!!! Finally they wanted to schedule surgery, but now they felt she needed to regain some strength, as this is going to be a very difficult surgery for her. Instead of sending her back to Erie they decided to perform a couple of stress tests to see if she could survive the surgery, she passed those with flying colors!!!!! Finally surgery is scheduled for tomorrow!! She has 3 Drs. and all 3 feel if they can remove this tumor successfully, she has a very good shot at getting her life back to normal!!! No promises. My brother and I made the trip to Cleveland yesterday for a visit, and she seems to be in the right place mentally to get through all this. We said goodbye after several hrs, and that was probably the hardest goodbye all 3 of us ever had to say. My brother and i both said see you next week we love you, kissed her and walked away. Tomorrow I will go to work and wait for the phone call saying everything went ok!! Thanks everyone!!!Peace

Sending out some positive energy to all the folks who are suffering, and all the others who will be with the situation as it is...When I start to feel overwhelmed with all of the negative energy, I try to stop and focus not on the bad in life, but on what is positive in that moment. My loving partner, my old cat (and young dog), the leaves starting to sprout outside, and all of the loving people on this forum. Thanks for being here!!! Good to know you got shoes to wear when you find the floor.

I'll fill you in later...busy busy studies and dad stuff...being busy is great....vibes vibes vibes everybody...we've got positive energy to share with all. Much Love everyone, and talk more sooooon I promise...

To all of you here for the positive energy you sent to Richard! I know those vibes helped him, especially those ones from johnman's fridge! He's finally home and recovering. And lot's more positive vibes to all in need (you too Tiger Lilly!)

Steve-o. The best sentiments and well-beams out to her for a good outcome from her surgery and a gentle and pleasant recovery with those that love her so. When she loves at that babe of yours, I'm very sure there is healing power in those fresh eyes of the world connecting with the doting grandmothers.Take care, Tim The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

Good news!!!!!! Lots of positive vibes for you and your Mom! Stay positive!

So far so good!!! My Mom talked to the cancer surgeon today, and he said he thinks she has a great chance with surgery, not promising anything he went on to say that they will remove about 20% of her 1 lung and if everything goes well she could have full breathing capacity in aout 3 weeks to a month. Now we wait for the surgery to be scheduled, hoping it will be real soon, as he said that it is a very fast growing tumor. Keep up the good work everyone and thanks.Peace
