I had hoped all the issues were passing, but I just got off the phone with my mom and sister.

My aunt is in the hospital, and has been for a week. Her lung collapsed suddenly and they had her in tryign to figure out why and get her fixed up when the other lung collapsed. She's been airlifted to a different hospital where there is a diagnostic specialist and several top surgeons, but no one knows anythign yet. The tentative diagnosis is somethign called ALM- I know nothing about it and I'm researching now.

Just, if you would- send out healing thoughts an dgood vibes. she's my mom's little sister, the wild child of the family, and she actively supported and encouraged my writing long before any of the other family members did.

Thanks

FtF

I really hope shes ok.
I just learnt today that my favourite aunt (my mum's younger sister) had been inhospital with a blood clot on her lung since Wed and her prick of a boyfriend didn't even let me know. I only found out coz they discharged her today and couldn't contact him, they called my dad and asked to speak to my mum (rip) we lost her nearly 5 years ago!!! and my dad had to get my aunt from hospital. It was disgusting, they needed the bed and she had to leave in her nightdress coz she had no clothes with her. My dad called me tonight to let me know. They said she's ok but she's stupid, she NEVER goes to the doctor unless it's really bad.

No news and I can't get through to my grandparents to find out anything.

Still with you, hon. :heart:
 
ALM? or AML?

I've never heard of ALM, but my first ever patient had AML (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia). I'm no specialist, but if you have any questions or concerns about any of the information you find, I'd be happy to try and help. At the very least, I have access to pretty comprehensive medical reference materials. It's good news that she's got access to specialists. I hope you get updated soon.

I don't think it's leukemia. Basically they said whatever this is is very rare and I'm pretty sure the acronym was ALM. However, I won't know anythign concrete until I can get hold of my grandparents or they contact my mom.

Let's hope the news is positive.

Warm thoughts and healing vibes to you and your aunt.

Hang tough, FtF.

Peace.

If it does turn out to be AML I might be able to offer information. I am a recent cancer survivor.
 
Update.

WHat she has is called LAM. There is exactly one research center for it in the US. It is fatal. She's in end stages.

This means my mom's probably going to move up to Pennsylvania in the next couple months. My aunt was the one who took care of my grandparents- both are still independent, but they do need someone to help with a lot of things like home repairs and driving to doctor's appointments and such.

I don't know what to feel right now- I'm numb, and waiting on more news.

My deepest sympathy, firefly. And loads of prayers. :heart:
