My mom was able to to go home today! They found a blood clot in her lung, so they put her on blood thinner. Problem is, her tumor is bloody, so the medication has made it leak even more blood. Once she starts radiation it should shrink the tumor enough that it won't be a problem.

Miracles keep happening left and right. I thank you all for your prayers. When they took the first lung biopsy the test result came back as "dead cells". The doctors thought dead cancer cells, so they took a second lung biopsy to double check. (sometimes the inner part of a cancer cell will be dead, but the outer will still be alive)  We got the second test result back, there is no cancer in her lung! This doesn't change her diagnosis, still stage-freaking-4. But it is better than if it was in her lung.
