Update on my Mother.

[DukeOBass]

My sister called around 3 PM to say that the surgeon cannot operate. The cancer has spread to both of mom's lungs and her liver. He's giving her a couple of months to live and told her to cancel a cruise she had planned for July. She has 2 options: Chemo, which he said may not even do any good or extend her life and she'll be ill or Quality of Life where he'll make sure she doesn't have any pain and can stay at home. He wants to do surgery to place tubes in her kidneys to allow them to drain but her left kidney is going to fail regardless. He wants her to decide by tomorrow so he can move ahead with the plan.
I asked my sister to find out if mom wants me to come up to the hospital this weekend or wait until she comes home.

Thank you for your prayers. I believe that God is able to do anything at anytime.

Hey, How 'bout an update on your mom. I know that what ever happens, take some time to enjoy her company. My time with my dad was cut short and was not pretty. We did however spend some good times together until his end. I'm happy I took the time to see him off. Good luck and enjoy your time together.

I went to Syracuse to see her on Sunday. I sat and held her hand and managed about 1 hour total alone, in between the rest of the visitors. She was supposed to come home today and be on hospice care. I'll be calling her later to make sure she got there. Her sister and a friend from New Jersey are staying with her. I'll be making weekend trips to be with her as much as I can. That's 2 1/4 hours one way from where I live so it isn't too bad.
