Worry

I don't mean to jump the gun, but I'm worried and sad, and I need to get it out.
My mother received the results from a CAT scan yesterday and was told she has a tumor in her lungs and several spots on her liver. She has not been diagnosed further and the next step is actually awaiting another scan, as the operator apparently misread the physician's instructions to do a full body and only completed an upper body read.
I am worried. Terribly worried. I am trying to be hopeful and think positively, but my fear is overwhelming me. My mom is 63 and has never really lived life yet. She has always been much too frugal and careful to enjoy life as she should and has never realized most of her dreams, despite my constant encouragement for her to do so. (I am an only child). I am hoping & praying that the findings prove benign and that this simply becomes the wakeup call to spur her on to go out and do all that she has always wished to do. I would like to ask a favor of you, that you please keep my mom in your thoughts and prayers. I will continue to post here as more information becomes available. I appreciate your taking the time to read this and send advance thanks for all your kind thoughts, helpful prayers and heartfelt wishes.
