Results

Post by Andrea

I Spoke to a couple of my mom's nurses today and there are some things to report.

There are still blood clots in both of Carol Anne's legs. There is still some blood flow, and there won't be any particular treatment or change in her medication.

The nurses also confirmed that the cancer has metastasized to her bones. It is in many places throughout her body and they would not try to radiate her whole body.

We may be changing the way she gets her medication so that she won't have to swallow pills any more.

Her brain seems even more skewed today. She is still weak and finds it nearly impossible to get comfortable. She needs a lot of assistance with everything. My Gramma is so wonderful and helpful, but taking care of my mom is becoming evermore difficult.

I will be looking into getting more care, possibly full-time.

That's all for now.
