Time now for a refresher from my Dr. Laura Call of the Day archives.

Remember, you can hear my live radio program weekdays 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph, 2011.

Virginia, welcome to the program.

Hello, Dr. Laura.

Hi.

What can I do for you?

In 2017, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had surgery.

And ever since then, my blood tests have been normal until I got a phone call December 16th

from my oncologist saying that my C-125 has elevated above normal.

And I've had three blood tests and a cat scan since then.

And they can't see anything on my cat scan to verify where that cancer might have spread to.

I have my mother, who is quite fragile. She's 86 years old. So I'm just wondering if I should

when you say she's very fragile. What does that mean? She's her youngest son three years ago passed away from meningitis my uncle six months after that

you're telling me you're telling me tragedies but you're not telling me what makes her fragile

we can go through a lot of tragedies and not be fragile. Certainly upset,

but not necessarily fragile. Two years ago, just before the pandemic, my mom fell in her kitchen,

broke her neck, her shoulder, and her back. Oh, sorry, not her back for him. And spent quite a few months.

Okay, you haven't answered my question. What makes you think she's fragile? She's had a lot of

tragedies, but that doesn't mean she's too fragile to mother her daughter.

I just came from her house wanting to put her, she's got to go into a home.

Okay. I'm not going to ask the question again, because you just keep running away.

If you don't want to tell your mother, don't tell your mother.
