Please pray for my Mom: The chemo appears to be making her kidneys fail. If she does not have them kick back in she may have days vs. months left. She does not want to get into many life extending things because quality of life sucks right now. I'm hoping for a dramatic improvement. We are at the end of radiation (only 2 more after today) and this was the first round of chemo.
The pain pump is working, but I'm afraid that she is losing all hope with the doctors calling treatment palliative vs. cure. My Dad can't stand to see her suffer (nobody can) and I don't think either of them see it as getting better, when indeed it will get better when she gets a break. She's almost to that point and I just cringe at the thought of not at least trying dialysis until we know if the radiation has done anything (you usually don't know until several weeks after).
Wish I could leave work. Family businesses are horrible during a family crisis.
