A month or so ago, my mom was drying her hair and she accidentally hit herself in the eye with her brush. When she went to an eye specialist, they did a chest x-ray just to be sure nothing else was going on... and they discovered a tumor near her esophagus. After many tests and an endoscopy, she will undergo surgery tomorrow to hopefully remove it. The dr. thinks it is benign (non-cancerous), but isn't sure. If they get in there and it is in a good spot and benign, they will remove it and she'll be back to work in a month. But if it's in a bad spot and/or malignant (cancerous), they may have to remove part of her stomach and esophagus and/or administer radiation... which would be worst case scenario. It is a blessing that she hit herself with that brush, though, or they wouldn't have caught this so early! Prayers for a successful surgery and that it is benign would be great! Also prayers that God will give my mom and our family peace and comfort. Thanks girls!
