Prayers Needed For My Mother

I'm off to the hospital for my mom's operation which is scheduled for 8 am. They found cancer on her left lung a few weeks back and after a battery of tests to make sure she's healthy enough for this operation (after all, she's 84 yo with a lot wrong with her), they're going in today to cut out about half of her left lung.

Thanks!

Your mother will be in my prayers Jim and so will you. Trust in the Lord, all will be well.

I wish you both the best of luck, I know it's a very hard thing to go through.

Prayers sent.

I've tried to type the medical statistics like three times and my heart just cannot do it. I know them and I hope she'll pull through.
I...don't know what to say. I'm sorry...and I hope she'll be ok.
I can't type most of what I'm thinking.
But, are you holding up alright? Losing my parents is my worst fear. I'm 18 and I still have nightmares. I can't imagine what you're going through. My eyes are welling up right now. I'm so sorry and there's nothing I can do.
I wish you the best of luck, I wish her the best of luck...Lung cancer is probably the most common cancer in the world. :(
If there's anything I can do....let me know.
My heart goes out to you. It feels like it fell out of my chest.

Best of luck Jim the waiting is the worst, experience talking there buy a great book and maybe just maybe it will distract you for a few min here and there just enough to stave off the frantics.

Best of luck.

Your mother, and the rest of your family will be in my thoughts. I really wish all of you the best.....

Doctors and Surgeons are so amazing these days. I truly look at them as real life Angels sent here. Have faith Smith and best wishes

DONE:please:

Thoughts and prayers with you on this.

Praying for your mother right now, and the rest of your family of course. God has his arms around you all.

If she's healthy enough at the age of 84 to go through a major surgery like this, then she must be one tough woman! She will be in my thoughts and prayers! I wish your family the best of luck! :please:

Best of luck, I hope everything goes well and your mother pulls out of this.
Cancer is a terrible thing, and I hope the surgerons can can rid your mother of it.
:please:

She's out of surgery and is doing well. She's a fighter. Doctors said they were able to get everything and there were no signs of cancer in her lymph nodes, so they removed whatever they needed of the left lung. Doctor's feel good about the operation and so far, everything appears to be going very well.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

She's doing well this morning. She's sitting up in a chair, eating and having a good time. Only issue is her left shoulder hurts because of the incision and operation. Other than that, they say she's doing REALLY sell.

Oh, that sounds AWESOME :) So happy for you all !!!

You know, they just don't make 'em like this anymore !! Your mom sounds like a tough and strong woman with a great spirit.

My grandma was like that. Went trough a hard life, but nothing could keep her down. She had the BEST sense of humor and her faith and strength never waned.

She was riding her bicycle again 5 weeks after hip replacement at age 75 !! Doctors and just about everyone she met, just loved her :) She didn't speak one english word (we're german) but when she came to visit me here in the US (she came every year all the way till she was 84) she would go to stores and talk to everyone and make friends everywhere, it was amazing :)

She came to visit me 4 month after breast cancer surgery. She would swim in my pool before anyone else braved the still cold water and she would be the one getting on the elliptical machine (aka fancy clothes hanger)

I miss her so much still, but a person like that lives on forever in our hearts and minds.

I have no doubt that your mom will recover quickly and run circles around the rest of the family before you know it, LOL.

I'm so glad to hear things are going so well :)

That is wonderful news!! :)

Jim I am so happy to hear she is doing well! Try to not be a pain in her bootey ok. :P
