Mum going home soon

As some of you know, Mum Nancy has been in hospital this past week and a half. She has had shortness of breath and some abdominal pain for quite a few weeks, and in trying to find out what is wrong, the doctors and specialists have found that she has a few ulcers in her stomach, as well as some small tumors in her lungs. They are also investigating some abnormalities in her pancreas.

Today they started her on some chemotherapy, and depending on how she feels, may be home tomorrow or sometime over the weekend. So she will be taking it very easy for a while. Thank you for everyone's concern and kind thoughts, she is doing fine. We will endeavour to keep everyone up to date, as we find out more about her condition (the diagnosis has changed a couple of times during medical investigations). Tests are ongoing at this stage, and Nancy will be glad when they stop poking, prodding and treating her as a pin cushion!
