Isabelle49 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I was admitted to the hospital this past Monday and diagnosed with pneumonia. I had developed severe SOB and fever. A CAT scan was done and it showed that while chemo was on hold for the past 4 weeks (I had neutropenia just before the last chemo 4 weeks ago) the enlarged lymph nodes and mass in my chest had bloomed ( became greatly enlarged) I have chosen to move to hospice, as I have been told that the chemo and radiation would only worsen my condition at this point). I wish you all the best and will keep in contact as long as Ican. Oh discharging to home Saturday 10/19. Blessings to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFK Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 My Dear Isabelle, Your words saddened me but somehow, though disappointed, I feel you have come to terms with your decision to move to Hospice. I wish you nothing but peace and comfort and enough grace and tender mercies to be at your grand daughters wedding on the 9th. You can do it girl. With much love and respect, DFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelle49 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Thanks all. And, please know there is one joyous possibility with this change. I lost my 22 year old son, Ray, in a motor vehicle accident 16 years ago and I know there is a possibility that I will be reunited with him on the other side. My greatest wish in the afterlife. Blessings to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelle49 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Much appreciated. I’m home Saturday. Night. Hemoglobin was low, so was transfused with one unit of blood. Had to twist a resident’s finger to get him to put in an order for the blood. My daughter who is also an RN was on him like white on rice when he indicated he didn’t think it was a good idea, said something about blood leaking into my lungs (Whaaat??? - never heard of that unless it was a trauma. Got the blood feeling like ihave more endurance (Duh, of course). Resident really got on my last nerve,but that’s how they learn. Blessings to all.

Tom Galli Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Isabelle, I’ve been out of touch for a while and am just learned about your condition. If it is any consolation, with your condition I’d make a hospice choice. You are a survivor and LUNGevity member till you are not. You are in my prayers. Stay the course.
