My mom got the results from her scans and they all came back clear. Except for a spot on her j-pouch. About 20 years ago she had to have her colon removed and they did this j- pouch procedure. The surgury allowed her to have a normal as possible life and not have to have a colostomy bag. Since the procedure she had dealt with a normal persons form of diaherra. She goes about 10 times a day and its really liquidly. Anyway, bercause of this her oncologist was worried about the side effects from AT chemo. He told her to make an appointment with a gasto and she did. Now they are telling her that she has to have the colon scope ran monday and that it couldn't be BC thats went there but it could be colon cancer.

She is very concerned about everything. She is worried that if they find something her chemo will be delayed which will give the BC more time to spread.

She is worried about her bills a lot. Her husband has insurance for her and he is taking her to her appointments but she is having to pay for everything when they go to the doctor all the copays, the food to eat, the parking, and her medicine. she doesn't know what she is going to do. Since she is off work and he refuses to help with money issues. She has about 6 credit cards that she has been putting all the expenses on. However, she doesn't have enough money to keep making the payments and is afarid that once she can't make the payments she won't have any way to get her medicine, pay for the gas and parking for her doctors appointments, or even her personal needs. I have been researching programs and haven't found very many that offer to help people who already  have insurance. If anyone has any ideas on what I can tell her to keep her from worring so much I would really appreciate it.

She has always been the type to worry and right now all its doing is making her sick. Shes too the point where she can hardly eat. I am so worried that when she starts chemo thursday its just going to be worse. I just dont' know what to do. She calls me crying several times a day and i try to reassure her that everything is going to be okay. She just gets upset with me because i don't have the answers she wants.
