So mom did chemo for 2 months and it didn't help the way we needed it too. She started radiation therapy but had to stop because she was admitted to the hospital. Her calcium and blood levels were awful, she was also showing sign of being sceptic. A new doctor called my father at home and basically said she going to die soon. This is the opposite of what every other doctor has said (even the same day as this doctor). Tommy (my husband) and I are racing home to Illinois. My dad is falling apart because of this doctor. I don't know what to think or feel. I mean is this doctor a negative person or doesn't know the case...or is she the first one to tell us the hard truth. And I know people mean well but if I hear one more time about how God doesn't give you more than you can handle or I'm praying for you..I'm going to snap! I don't want to handle this and God must have a very different opinion of what I can handle than my evaluation of my strength.
