Well... things have been pretty bad lately. Thank the Gods that we seemed to have hit solid ground for the time being *knocks on wood*

For those of you that don't know (and do care) my mum has been sick for quite a while, and it came to a head recently with a trip to the ER where they rushed her off to the nearby clinic (the best one around here) and the surgeon proceeded to tell us that she needed emergency surgery to remove a tumor in her bowel which was completely obstructing her functions.

Well.. she had surgery that day and they removed about 4-5 inches of her colon (she has an ostomy now and will have it for a while) and they found out the tumor was cancerous. A small piece had pushed through the colon wall and broken off and migrated down to her small intestine, so they removed a piece of that as well. She also had some cystic bumps on her ovaries which they also removed.
They also removed 16 of her lymphatic nodes and found cancer in 2 of them; which means that she may have to have chemo and radiation.

Anyway.. she's getting stronger now. She's home and eating and I've been her nurse (she keeps telling me I should become a doctor, but I don't care that much about people which is why I'm going to be a vet. hahaha)

Well.. for those of you who might want to know why I likely wont be doing much around here for a while.
