    Your mother needs to get to a doctor, or two doctors, and keep asking questions until she and you have all the answers she needs.

    irishdebs1976 I realise that this must be a terrible time for you and your mum waiting to find out, but the web is really not the place to look for medical advice or reassurance and is not allowed on this site for safety reasons.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
