Update on my Mom
Posted: Wed May 04, 2011 4:56 pm
She was diagnosed with Lung Cancer back in February.
Well, just an update, she started hospice yesterday. The cancer has metastasized to her brain. She has 3 tumors there, and another one in her lung now. She's fading very quickly. She's 64 years old and can no longer get out of bed or a chair by herself. She was over 140lbs back in December and is down below 100 lbs now.
My dad isn't handling this well at all, and he is also dealing with advanced prostate cancer treatment for himself (radiation, the tumor wasn't operable). As if this wasn't enough, my Grandmother (mom's mom) just went to the hospital with a bad infection and dimensia. This is a lot to handle.
At least the hospice people are very nice.
