Better news on Mum

[joeychen]

The angiogram went well. The two cardiologistst that looked at the results now think that she may not have even had a heart attack!
It could be that she had higher heart enzyme levels from the drugs she's taking on her cancer treatment. The chest pain could be from some digestive thing that the drugs are causing.
They're going to do an ultrasound on her legs to check for bloodclots, and another test on her heart later today. But she should be home tomorrow.
Yay.
My sister drove down from LA to be with her, which is great. She just arrived at the hospital, so is hanging out with Mum, and Dad is going to take a break.
Dad suggested that this may have been a kick for her to stop smoking again. Hope so, could only be a good thing. (She had stopped for a while when she was having surgeries etc, then had started again)
So now just have to wait for the scans in two weeks to see what is happening with the mets in her lungs.
thank you guys all very much! Appreciate all the good thoughts and words!!
