Mom update
Mom called -- tests show no cancer but "several" ulcers. :) & :(

Her docs think this may be a result of her years-long aspirin therapy for heart problems.

Mom said, "So -- I think I need to get my heart doctors and stomach doctors in one room and ask them what I'm supposed to do!"

Go, Mom.

Yeah, the speed was good for all. It surprised me, too. Apparently, what the doctors saw on the scope-y thing in no way resembled cancer, though they did take some cells to biopsy, just to be sure.

Mom *has* been taking aspirin daily with her doctor's knowledge -- I'd assume it would be the type to limit stomach side-effects, but I don't really know.

Mom is a high-strung type, too, in case that wasn't already apparent from the ulcers and heart trouble. Though I also consider myself high-strung, I tend to take after my healthier, lazier dad -- we both love our doin' nothing time, and our sleep!, while Mom is the type who always has to do three things at once.
