Good news about WG's mom

[icarus]

Good news from the PET scan: wildernessguru's mom doesn't have anything more than what they originally discovered. It wipes a real worry from the doctors' lists.

Tomorrow she goes in for surgery on three cancerous growths in her stomach. They're going to leave all the major organs alone even though one of her two kidneys is shot. They can't operate on the cancer in her liver of course so that they will treat with chemo, giving it a direct dose while she's under the knife tomorrow, and then having chemo sessions every three weeks for a period of time.

The family's joking about having WG donate his hair for a wig.

I don't know if this changes her overall prognosis, but hey, good news is good news.

Totally out of the blue but related, believe me:

Does anyone here know of some arch-conservative, Republican, Wall Street Journal-type, liberal-hating forums where reasonably intelligent (if incredibly conservative) people of an adult nature hang out?

I have a reason for this.

I can't speak with any certainty about their level of intelligence, but I hear a lot about The Free Republic (http://www.freerepublic.com), a forum notorious in my circles for being the archenemy of The Democratic Underground (http://www.democraticunderground.com), where lots of smart progressive types hang out.

And I'm glad WG's mom is having a better-case scenario in a worst-case kind of situation. Scary stuff.

Thank you, I think that'll be great. Not my style, but we're thinking WG's dad might like them.

Woo and Hoo for the news about wg's mom. Cancer is shit scary. My dad got recently diagnosed with, fortunately, a well treatable and non spreading kind, so I have at least an inkling of what you're going through and am sending good vibes your way.

He has very pretty hair, and the right coloring for his mom. But... she might not want the grey streaks. ;)
