Blood Analysis result
Today morning my father went to get my mom's blood analysis result, from laboratory. And a couple of hours later I was there at home to check it. Fortunately all cancer-specific factors were in their range, as well as blood sugar and cholesterol. Everything looked quite normal, but we still should visit oncologist to confirm this. I guess the visit will be tomorrow and my sister will arrange it.

Blood Analysis for Cancer – Hypo-echoic mass is NOT dangerous
Today morning we went for blood analysis (checking cancer factors), and because of the cancer-related checkups, which are usually more complicated, the result will be ready in two weeks.
While I was still thinking about yesterday's ultrasonography result, I insisted my mother to visit her surgeon who did the mastectomy. After all, ultrasonography and CT-Scan results are more in their play ground rather than an oncologist. That was why we headed to visit the surgeon at the evening. Fortunately he assured us that there is nothing to worry about and everything looks normal, since the cyst dimension had not changed. He told us that it may be a normal cyst not related to cancer at all.
Thanks God! I feel better, now that a second doctor has confirmed this. Even my mother feels much better since she really believes this doctor. Hope that oncologist will say the same (like previous time), when we take the blood analysis result along with these to visit him.

Abdomen and Chest Ultrasonography – Hypo-echoic mass still exists
Today my sister had taken my mother to visit oncologist for periodic [cancer] checkup. As usual he'd sent them for abdomen and chest ultrasonography as well as blood analysis.
Blood analysis will be done tomorrow, but ultrasonography has already been done. It seems that last time's result was not that wrong and there is really a cystic area in my mother's abdomen (hypo-echoic ovoid mass lesion in RLL anterior to CBD, according to the lab's written result). Of course it may be just a normal not-dangerous cyst exist in many people. We should wait for the final word from oncologist.
I just keep praying...

Blood Cholesterol below maximum limit
Today was another good day after we heard about my mother being free of cancer. At the morning, I went to take the blood analysis result from laboratory. Reading the result, I found out that my mother’s blood cholesterol has been dropped below the maximum limit which was quite good :-) I called my mother immediately and told her about the result, since she was a bit worried.
Now my only concern is the cystic area once shown at abdomen Ultrasonography, although CT-Scan didn't show anything.

Blood Sugar & Cholesterol Analysis
It was early at the morning when I took my mother to laboratory for blood analysis.
The guy there (at lab) had hard time finding the right vessel to take blood from my mother. Because of chemotherapy drugs, many of the blood vessels of my mother's right hand (on which the drugs have been injected) have been ruined. On the other hand, doctors have forbidden taking blood from left hand on which surgery has been done (mastectomy). But he finally managed to do the job, and they told us to come for the result in a week.
Pray for my mom, please...
