I got a call Friday that mom was rushed to the hospital with an irregular heartbeat. I drove up and am sitting in the hospital with her now. The cancer has exploded in her body. The tumor has filled the right lung and is now growing outside the lung. It is also spreading in her liver, ribs, pelvis, and thighs. Needless to say we are in a new stage. Last night she threw a blood clot in her right arm and they dud angioplasty today to bust it up.

We talked with hospice yesterday and when she comes home we will bring them in. It looks like we are at the jumping off point for the place we have been trying to avoid for the last 45 months.

I am staying in the hospital with her at night. Will keep you updated.

Ah Susan, sure didn't want to hear all this. You've been a great team for 45 months - hopefully for a bit longer than that with any luck. You and mom are in my thoughts and prayers. Know that many here are propping you up at this time.

Susan - I am so very sorry to hear about your mom. I can't imagine how your heart is breaking right now.

I pray that hospice will give your mom more pain free, comfortable days and that she is able to be home soon.

Please take care ... I am sending you and your mom many cyber hugs.

Thanks everyone. Made the arrangements today to bring mom home tomorrow with hospice. Got out of the hospital for a little while to go take delivery of the equipment. I'm staying with her nights as she does not want to be by herself. Not able to do much else other than see to her right now.

I'm sure having you with her has been a real comfort. I hope hospice will be helpful to all of you. Keep us updated when you can .

It's over. Mom died on Wednesday morning. 45 months, 8 days after DX. Much longer than I thought we would have but still, much too soon.
