Hi, my mom is in the hospital, her heart was going into failure last friday and they found her red blood cell count to be 8.6, it is now 7.4. They have given her steriods to build the cell count back up but it doesnt seem to be helping, i live in the UK and was called home, after a scan they found that my mom has cancer in her stomach, lungs, colon and chest. she had a tumor behind her hip they found last year but didnt seem concerned about it, now it is 9cm. They told her they were going to put her on chemo right away to get the red blood cell count back up and now after a biopsy they say they are going to just give her a pill that has no chemo in it and not to worry about the cancer its low grade. I dont understand when its in her body like that and has progressive fairly quick over 8 months or so and the tumor has grown alot that they are no longer concerned. Last year she just had the tumor, now she has it pretty much throughout her body. Can anyone help, i have so many mixed emotions, i want to be happy they say dont worry but when you look at the whole picture to me it doesnt sound good, i am going home anyway to see her but i just want to know what i am facing.
