    Ah Dumpling, well done you x

    The results of Mum's scans are in, she has a cyst the size of a cricket ball in her tummy. The consultant apparently asked her several times if she had felt something but Mum was adamant she hadn't. Anyway, there is a consultation tomorrow between Addenbrookes and West Suffolk and they are going to phone after 2pm to advise on the next step. She will definetly need a CT scan and there is talk of surgery to remove it but until they know more not sure how invasive that will be?
    She is at my brother's tonight and will be dropped off home in the morning, I will go round after work to see what she has been told.
    It's my eldest nieces wedding on the 17th and she has already told the hospital that there is no way they are doing anything before then as is petrified she will miss it.
    So, some idea now as to what we are dealing with, one day at a time is all we can do x
  • Lainey

    as you say you now have some idea what the problem is.

    Further tests will no doubt show whether it is attached to anything. Fancy your Mum not knowing something so large was there. Anyway she is in very capable hands and I am sure they will be able to sort her out even if it is after the wedding :)

    Sending her good wishes

    redruby, your little jackapoo sounds so gorgeous, I love jack russels and poodles. I like all the new combinations that are being bred these days but oh my gosh, they are so expensive. My hubby calls them all heinz 57's as well :).


    Well done today, I must say I quite agree with everyone about the breeds, I have never and will never pay for a dog, Evie was a rescue who was caged for 8 hours per day :( she has a lovely life now and I hope is much happier x

    Congratulations Dumpling! I'm so pleased for you.

    Lainey - at least your Mum has a start of a diagnoses which should lead to her feeling better.
