A happy update on my mom!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 06-21-2007, 09:22 PM

Hey everybody, my mom and I just got back from the doctor a little bit ago. For those who don't know, we had a little scare recently, as an abnormality showed up on her mamogram from a week ago. Thankfully, it doesn't look like it's cancer, but just a little spot, or possibly a little scar tissue from her heart surgery last year. It is definitely a huge weight lifted off of my mom's, and the whole families shoulders. The doctors are going to keep an eye on it though, just incase it grows or something, but they are pretty sure that it's nothing serious.

I just want to thank all of you who had my mom in your thoughts and/or prayers, and let you know that I truly appreciate your guys' kindness beyond words!!! My mom also wanted me to thank you all for her, and let you know how touched, and thankful she is for all your prayers!! It totally made her day to know that so many people who have never even met her could care so much about her, and it made mine as well. You guys' are truly awesome!!!

To Tara: My mom wanted to send a very special thank you to you for not only praying for her over the last couple days, but for your constant love and prayers you've shown her over the years. She wanted me to tell you that she loves you, and that your mom will definitely be in her prayers too!!

It's so great to hear everything is okay with your mom!

My sister went through something similar a few years ago and I know those few days waiting for the results can seem like the longest, most stressful time ever. Thankfully it was nothing.

Brad Russ · 06-21-2007, 09:44 PM

Thanks so much Cathy and Jack!!!

Yeah, it was definitely tough. My mom has had so many medical problems over the last few years, including two heart surgeries within a 7 day period, so I'm sure you can imagine my elation when I heard that she was okay. Thank you very much for your kind words and consideration AndAwayWeGo, it's sooo appreciated. I'm glad everything turned out okay with your sister as well!!

Here is a big hug for you and your mom

I am so thankful it turned out to be good news. I asked God to be there for you and to please have things be alright for your mom. I know the feeling of having a parent being sick and the thought of losing them runs rampant. My thoughts go out to you and your family and God Bless.

Awwww, you are so awesome Irene, thank you soooooo much.

I am so thankful to God that I have a friend like you, who is always there for me. And I want you to know that God heard your prayer, because both my mom and I were very calm and at ease all day today, and just knew in our hearts that everything was going to be okay. This was actually the best day I've had in months, and I know that that's because of good friends like you sending prayers, and good vibes my families way.

I love you Irene, and I thank you for being such a great friend!! May God Bless You Too!!!

Thank you so much Jen, that really means alot.

I will be sure to send along your well wishes to mom. I know she will appreciate it just as much as I do. I'm so sorry to hear about what your mom's been going through.

I promise you that both you and your mom will be in my prayers as well!! God Bless You My Friend!!!
