George and I went to visit my mom today in the hospital, and while we were there the oncologist stopped by. Apparently the cancer has NOT spread beyond her liver, but the liver is "extensively involved". What cued them to cancer in the first place was that her liver readings on the blood tests were all out of whack.
On Monday or Tuesday they'll be doing a biopsy (inserting a needle into the liver to pull out a bit of tissue). By Friday we'll know exactly what kind of cancer it is and what kind of treatment (if any) is available.
This is much better news than we could have hoped for earlier this week.
Oh, and her cat Mina is now living with us, isolated in our studio. I don't know how well she'll take to me doing aerobics and step exercise in the same space, but we'll manage. Even as I type she's trying her best to walk across my keyboard... Thanks to Terri's husband Roger for being nice enough to give us a lift from my mom's place with the cat in tow!
