Andrea B. Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 My mom had a brain scan done on Wednesday and we found out today that there is no evidence of cancer, Yeah!!! The hard part is that I know the cancer is taking its toll on my mom. I look at her and see her suffering. My mom is no longer present. She hasn't been eating and is not very responsive anymore. They gave her another round of Navelbine today, but her oncologist doesn't expect her to get much more. It too is taking its toll. My mom's liver is enlarged. I always hold on to the shred of hope that something will help, but I know I must be realistic. I am sad for her, for me, for my dad, for my daughter and the rest of our family. She is the most loving person I have ever encountered. Okay, enough of my pity party for now. Blessings to each of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Sweet Andrea, You deserve a pity party as much as it breaks my heart that you need one. You are going through sooooooooo much. I am happy about the brain results, but sad to hear it is taking a toll on your dear mother. So unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cheryl- Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Andrea, Tell your mom that we are honored to have her join the elite and prestigeous "Empty Headed Club." I know that the chemo is taxing. I hope that she has as good a result with the navebaline. God Bless, Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Andrea, I lift your mom up for special prayer. She will get stronger, be responsive mentally and her appetite returns and the chemo works for her. I ask you Jesus for this in your name for Andrea's mom. Thank You! Always in my prayers each day...
