Hi my mom has Metastatic Cancer and other things?
I think what you're trying to say is bilateral pleural effusion which is because her cancer has spread to her lungs, both of them and this effusion is an abnormal aculation of fluid in the air spaces of the lungs. They can help get rid of this fluid in a number of ways, but that's something you should discuss with her Dr. There just so many things or ways to do this. I also want to know if you mean to say axillary, which means under the arm which is where she would have the lymph nodes. A large neoplastic m is a tumor that can be benign or malignant and my guess is this is under her arm in the nodes.. Interductal cell carcinoma is what I had. I had malignant tumors in the milk ducts of the . Your mother's cancer has invaded these cells and is taking over. With her chemo and treatments, they will do all they can for her. Is she having a mastectomy with removal of the lymph nodes? Again. These questions should really be answered by her Dr. Your mom doesn't want you to worry. She's like most mothers, more concerned for their children than themselves. That's true unselfishness. It may upset her if you take a semester off. Ask her first. Tell her you want to be there to help her when she needs you and when your dad's working. As far as the treatments they are giving her, it is an aggressive treatment. Let's pray it knocks the hell out of that cancer. I have 4 grown children and I know I wouldn't want them to disrupt their lives. If she needs you. she will let you know. I know you want to do everything you can for her and you don't want to leave her alone. Explain this to her, she needs to hear that. Trust me, I've been there. God bless all you and your mom is in my prayers and so are you.
