fillise Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 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. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillise Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 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. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
