Breathing again

I got a phone call last night from my mom. She had an appointment with her doctor to see how her brain is doing since surgery.
They found a new spot on her brain (right over her motor skills), and they had to do a biopsy on it today. She went in at 6:30am (central time) for some pre-op stuff, and surgery was at 8:30am. I was told it was a very quick procedure. Just an incision, get some tissue, and get out.

I have been waiting all day to hear something. I found out from my niece that they would find out today or a week from now.
I've called my brother and left messages to keep him updated (what little I knew). Since I was home alone, I was freaking out going through all the 'what ifs' in my head. I've been wondering if I'll be packing my bags to stay at the hospital (if it's malignant).
I tried calling my sister (who jumped on a plane last night to get here), but her voice mail picked up. Same with my step-sister (who is also down here).

I did finally get a hold of my sister (she accidentally deleted my phone number and couldn't call).
The surgery went fine. They had to shave a 2x3inch square on the top front of my mom's head. They made an incision, stuck a needle in, and sucked some tissue out. They then sent it to pathology, and were told they would know something in a couple of hours.

About 3 hours later, the doctor talked to my family. Turns out it is something called Narcosis (no idea if that is spelled right). It is a result/side effect from radiation. Kind of like radiation scar tissue.
The doctor was very happy with that. He wasn't sure what they would do if it was malignant. Since it's placed on the motor skills part of her brain, if they had to do surgery again, she might come out of it paralyzed.

I'm feeling relieved for now. Pathology is still doing some tests (we'll hear the results next week) to see if there are any cancer cells.

So far, so good.
