We have made the decision to call in hospice
After talking with my oncologist and finding out that my mets on my liver and spine are still growing I talked with my kids and we made the decison to stop treatments and call in hospice. The chemo was doing more harm than good. Due to the mets on my spine I am unable to walk without a walker and I have been told that it is going to get worse. My bedroom has been moved to the living room due to the fact that I cant walk up the 12 steps. Although I do not go out much I am able to make it down the 3 steps on the porch with help. This was one of the toughest decisions that I have ever made in my life.
Hugs,
Mommaellen
