I got a call from my dad last night to tell me that my mom has cancer. She had a pollop removed last year from her bladder and they said it was gone but she would have to be watched. Well now it seems that she has had a few more appear and requires surgery to have it removed and is much more serios then before.

My mom is not taking it to well and my dad is doing the best he can.

Thanks for listening everyone. I needed to get this off my chest.

    Update. My mom went to the specialist and it looks like surgury is the next step. The feeling that I got from my dad is that they are going to have to remove her bladder all together to try to remove the cancer. This will probably be happening in the next week or two. I'm trying not to freak out over this as her Dr had a great reputation.
