Around october 2 years ago my mother had to get her appendix removed and while they were doing surgery they found a softball sized growth on her pancreas.. The doctors ran some tests and found it to be benign and cut it out along with half her pancreas. Last year she started pestering her doctor with some other health issues that popped up and they kept just telling her that she was still recovering from getting 1/2 her pancreas removed with the growth and just kept throwing pills at her this went on till December. On December 25th 2014 my mother was diagnosed with 3 separate types of cancer 1 of which was some really rare kind and they gave her less then a year to live needless to say she opted to get surgery and chemo and things. Due to my family's financial status they kept pushing it back and we had to fight to get her surgery done and it took us till the 20th of last month. Well today we got the results back of the cancers and what is going to be done now.

As of this moment my mothers oncologist said that all 8 tests checking what kinda cancer she had was WRONG and they managed to remove all of it, it didn't spread to her lymph nodes and she's currently cancer free and doesn't even require chemo or radiation. This of course has taken a great load off my mind but my worry has now turned to anger at how the situation was handled. They kept putting off surgery and other treatments and just throwing more and more stronger and stronger pain pill at my mother and now she's addicted to them. The hospital was MUSC and I already had extremely bitter feelings toward them due to a study I was part of from the ages of 2-21 at which they dropped me and basically stuck a expiration date on my ass on my way out of the door, that's a story for another time though.

Anyway after all of this I'm relieved to get the news that my mother is going to be fine for the most part and we're currently looking at getting her through a detox to wean her off of the pain pills they got her addicted to. I just felt like sharing this here because why not.

I really hope things pick up for you and your mother, and I'm glad for the good news, but I can completely empathise with why you would feel anger and frustration. If venting here helps at all - vent away. All the best to you both. Not much more I can say really, but after all that, it's more than reasonable to feel aggrieved. Again, I really hope things go better from here, it looks like you have a good plan and the will to succeed, so - aye, best of luck!
