Does she have a definite diagnosis yet?
No, they said surgery is indispensable for this purpose along with nuclear medicine scan.
Sorry, I think I've missed it. What surgery is it that they want to do? Why? What's her diagnosis?
They detected on x-ray a kind of "enlarged tissue", and she also has this drainage system till now, they want to detect the origin of this tissue and sort out everything.
What is enlarged?
They considered this tissue or "stone" scan changed in comparison with previous scan made before the last surgery.
The whole situation really bothers me, first of all lack of precise explanations, only that surgery is needed to be done according to the last scans.
Do you mean like a kidney stone or a gallstone? OR something different?
Yes, they mean it, but her previous scan states clearly "tissue of unknown origin". I'm messed up, because there is a difference between a stone and tumor.
There is a big difference. If it's a stone then it's easier to treat
It all sounds very confusing to me. Yellow skin sometimes means jaundice which can be an issue with a liver. But I am not a doctor so don't worry about it, but maybe ask them about that. Forgive me if you have explained this somewhere and I have not seen it.. but what country are you in? I am in Holland :)
I hope they will find the right solution for your mum soon so that she will be okay :)
