Hours ago I got wind that my mother was in the emergency room. My first thought was her tumor. Had it gone malignant? She has one. It's inoperable, there's a 60% chance it's benign, and the doctors tried to shrink it with radiation.

Good news: It wasn't the tumor.

Bad news: It was a minor heart attack.

She's okay and being discharged soon. This much I recently learned.

I already lost a family member to heart disease years ago and he was the coolest guy in my family.

I'm really sorry to hear this.
You must have been very scared.
It's really good news that she got medical care in time.

Sending best wishes for her recovery.

Sorry this happened to you and your family member.

At least they found the heart attack in time. Many people recover well from heart attacks.

But your family member has to be quite vigilant as far as health is concerned.

Think of it as a check to make sure she is ok.

It must have been so scary to hear such news. It's a relief that she is ok and can be discharged soon.

Sending my positive energy to your mum, you and the rest of your family!

I hope your mother feels better soon.

Many people survive mild heart attacks for many years.

Your mother has to be more vigilant about her health now.
