First let me thank everyone for how extremely kind and thoughful they have been these last few days. It really means a lot to our family and to Mom.
Today was a rollercoaster of a day, and one we would not like to ever have to repeat, but at the end of the crazy day here is what we know:
Her cancer has now spread to her brain. She has two spots on her frontal lobes which explains a lot about her confusion and hollucinations. They are going to do ten days (in a row) of radiation on her entire brain which should help hold the cancer off for a while, her first dose happened today. It will not get better, but hopefull give her a few months without growth. We chose to do this because it doesn't really have any harmful side effects and if we didn't do it she would basically not make it very long, or even know who we are or what is going on. It seemed like the right thing to do.
As far as her liver goes it is not functioning well either. Basically it has lots of cancer in it.
I wish I knew more or knew what the next little while holds but I don't. I do know that she is a fighter. She was diagnosed with breat cancer fifteen years ago (15!) and has managed to fight this long. Last year at this time she was as close to death as is humanlly possible and make a near complete comeback, so anything is possible. Postive thinking is huge!
So again, keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Let's hope that they find a cure for this STUPID thing soon.
I will update later.
