beat it Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well I havent posted in forever but just felt like sharing. Weird, seems like I repeat myself to family over and over updating everyone, I'm so burnt out on that, then tonight I write.......... Hospice came on board today. Aqute care in the hospital. Not sure if she'll ever make it home or not. Last week we were still in fight mode, today ............. I watched my MIL go from the beautiful recongizable woman to this eldery feeble tiny woman in almost a week. Yes she'd been changing in appearance over the last month but this happened so fast. In 2 months the slower growing NSCLC gained intense speed. Multiple new nodules, tumors tripled in size mets AND bone cancer in the ribs. Its only a short ime now........... BUT cancer didnt take everything from us. This family gained communication skills, physical and verbal expressions of love, tenderness, kindness, faith, and even though she'll be in heaven soon, we all have a bond that has never been tighter. cancer cant take those from us. So in the end ........... we did win. Beat it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wondermom Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I pray for you and your family during this difficult time. My mom's cancer also rapidly progressed. It seemed one week she was doing ok and the next she was in the hospital. It is just so hard to see. I pray for your MIL's comfort and peace for your family.
