shirleyb Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Well, the surgery was done. The outcome is still to be determined. They removed a tumor the size of a large grapefruit. They were able to stop the bleeding and they determined the cancer has spread to the liver, the stomach, and the pancreas. Mom is still on a ventilator and heavily sedated. Not that doctors are Gods, but I think it is a good guess that it will only be a matter of a short period of time until she is able to be at peace. It is hard to let go but it is harder to know she is in pain and suffering and is somewhere she does not choose to be. She told my sister before going into surgery that she just wants this all to be over and that she is ready to die. She is so tired and in so much pain. She has been through so much the last 4 months that it is no wonder. Please keep her in your prayers. Praying for us all. Shirleyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamasbabygirl Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Shirley, My mom said the same thing to me yesterday, that if this is the way it will be, she'd rather die. We both thought she was going to die yesterday morning. Cancer sucks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
