Last August, the my mom had lumps in at the top of her legs that were causing swelling in her calf muscles. The lumps were diagnosed as enlarged lymphnoids cause by a long term bronchitis. At that time, Mom underwent several tests and also had an ultrasound.
My mom had shingles in January and early February. The lumps had gotten larger, so she went to a different doctor last Friday thinking she would get another prescription of antibiotics. Mom didn't get her prescription. The doctor scheduled an immediate CAT scan. Monday, the doctor's office called because they wanted more tests. The last several days have been spent having a second CAT scan, an MRI, lung x-rays, and blood work. A biopsy is scheduled for Monday afternoon. The diagnose is no longer enlarged lymph glands, but masses in her legs.
My mom is frightened and has stated several times that if she has cancer, she won't have treatment. Please remember my mom (Marge) in your prayers.
