Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse in my family, I called my Mom today to find out the results of Rich's needle core biopsy and it's confirmed, Rich has lung cancer. While expected, it's still hard to hear and of course troubling. The big blow was still yet to come however... After we discussed Rich, my Mom told me she had an x-ray last week and she has inflamed lymph nodes in her chest which prompted the medical team to order a CT scan for this Thursday, ugh ugh ugh. I didn't know this but she's been really tired lately (symptom) and has developed a cough (symptom) which is rare for her. Kinda freaking out here but going to remain calm and deal with this like I deal with my own crap, the best I can.
I just don't understand why our family has to deal with so much... Seems very unfair.
Not sure what else to say...
Time to put my own troubles on the back burner and do my best to try and process all of this. Hopefully it'll be nothing and we can go back to dealing with just Rich's pending surgery and successful recovery.
Keeping the faith,
Chris

Hang in there! It does sound rough, sending prayers to you and your family.
Chris, your "what the heck" title is totally appropriate. Your family needs a break. I'm sorry about Rich, and I really hope that your mom's CT scan comes back clear. Your family is in my prayers!!
