My 84 year old aunt had surgery a few years ago for melanoma on her face.  It was thought that they had gotten it all, but it has resurfaced.  This latest one is in the same location, but under the nose piece of her eyeglasses.  Scary enough.  Surgery is/was scheduled for January 10.

On Thursday, she was admitted to the hospital with what was thought to be pneumonia.  However, the doctors are saying that the slight amount of pneumonia she has would not account for her extreme difficulty breathing.  She also has symptoms which sound like a severe sinus infection.  There, I'm very worried that what is really going on is that the melanoma has already spread.

I don't live close enough to visit her, but I have been calling her in the evening.  She is in a lot of pain and pretty scared I think.  She does have a few friends, but no family in the area.

I was wondering if I could get a few of the famous TCS vibes for her, and to help us all deal with whatever is coming.  Thanks.

AW hun.... of course, many prayer's/vibes coming your way for your Aunt. It is hard when we live so far from a loved one who is suffering with something as serious as this. Your call everyday WILL bring her much comfort :hugs:.... :vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes: Please keep us updated on your aunt.

Sending many, many
 
 
to your Aunt.  I know how difficult it must be for you, not living close enough to be there with her.  I'm sure your calls mean the world to her.  Hopefully, everything will turn out fine.

Aww. Sending many, many vibes for your aunt. You sound like you're very close, and I agree, hearing your voice over the phone is a very good thing. I pray that everything turns out okay. :vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes:

:vibes::vibes::vibes: for your aunt. It must be very difficult for her to be far from family members while going through this.

Thank you 


I'm waiting to call her back, she had to hang up to get a breathing treatment.  I tried talking to the nurse, but it's not the regular nurse on the weekend and she didn't know anything, or wouldn't tell me anything.  My aunt said they did a scan of some sort on her, I guess her whole body, but they won't get the results until tomorrow.  She is breathing a little easier so that's one positive thing.  I am praying they can find what it is, and that it's something that can be treated.

I just found out my aunt has a blood clot on her lung.  I don't really know anything else or what they are going to do.  Can't talk to the doctor, and the nurses don't tell you much. I doubt the doctor would tell me much either.  Anyway, thanks again for all the vibes and prayers, they are very much appreciated.
