Anxious

My mother was in the hospital for almost two weeks. She did an X-ray, and they found masses in her lungs, and a hole in one of them. They had to do a biopsy, and she still hasn’t received the results yet. My dad is pretty distraught and losing his mind. They have been married for 45 years, and he is scared. I am scared. We are waiting to hear if it is cancer or not. Almost her entire side of the family has had cancer, so we are honestly just praying and hoping it isn’t, but the doctor told us to be prepared. But how prepared can we really be.

I can feel her energy just has been very down and different since she has come home, and I know she is scared too. The waiting game is painful. She can hardly catch her breath or have a conversation without having a coughing fit. I am just hoping she gets better quickly. She is my best friend after all, and we need to get back to the regular annoy mom in as many ways as I can sessions.
