Mom's surgeon called at 4:50 PM today to tell me that the results of the PET/CT scan came back showing a mass on a kidney and another mass on the liver.
Surgeon is setting up a biopsy for the liver mass and a core biopsy of the breast cancer. The hope is that the mass in the liver is related to the breast cancer. If so Mom will go on med treatments to shrink the liver mass--these meds will also slow down the growth of the breast cancer. If the mass on the liver is not related to the breast cancer, meaning if it is a different primary cancer....well, in the words of the surgeon, "That's a whole other ballgame."
That's all I know right now.
None of this is making any sense to me...none of it. It's one thing when a truck runs you over. It's something else when that same truck backs up and hits you a second time....then races forward and hits you a third time....and on and on and on.
