Today we took Mom up to Huntsman to see the orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Randle. He wanted to check and see how her hip pain was relative to the tumor on her pelvis. So they did several new x-rays and included her right femur bone as well since they found a shadow on it in the last x-ray done when she was in the ER almost 2 weeks earlier. At the time the radiologist said it was a possible tumor but they weren't quite sure.
Well today, they still aren't sure but want to give it another 6 weeks and see how Mom does. She still has pain when ever she is up and walking around. She can't walk for very long without it bothering her.
From the x-rays, the tumor on her pelvis hasn't changed at all. So that's good that it hasn't grown anymore. Dr. Randle wants to see her in 6 weeks to see if she needs to have a hip replacement. So for now we just keep her from running marathons and wait and see.
