(I send you guys quite a few messages, you guys are the best, now I have a question believe it or not regarding my mom) here goes the story.

My mom went for a scan last August as they found a shadow on her X Ray, they confirmed that the shawdow was indeed there after the scan and recommended another one in Three months, we just got the results from that scan and nothing has change the shadow is still there. Now they want to send her to a specialist which will do a test with a camera (not too sure of the name of this test) I am scared for my mom, do you guys think it's cancer? Wouln't they have found something in the scan if there was cancer? I am just so scared for her. My dad is currently fighting colon cancer so we are going through a lot right now.

I would appreciate your honnest opinion, even if you do suspect it's cancer I would rather someone be upfront with me, I would rather know now not then.

Thank you from the bottem of my heart for answering to this email.

Julie

    I would say just wait until you get all the facts before you start worrying. The fact that nothing has changed is a good sign. The information you have given here is pretty vague and most of us here are not doctors. There is no sense worrying about something prematurely. Just hang in there until you know for sure what is going on.
    Good luck! Susan.

    I agree with Sue; there really isn't enough information to respond to until more test are done.
    The specialist will probably order more tests, and
    then talk to you about the options.. Nanuk
