UPDATE ON MY DAUGHTER.......

in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1
Friends, she no longer can stand up to go to the bathroom, she was devastated because she had to use a bedpan/pamper. She had the second dose of the trial chemo on Friday, nothing to eat. Saturday, she slept all day and ate nothing only a few sips of juice or water and was getting very agitated at the nurses. Sunday morning around 8:00 she sat up on bed and wanted to get up then her eyes rolled back and she started to rub her stomach. Pain medicine(morphine) was increased to make her comfortable. She is now in a coma. They gave us 48 hours. My beautiful most lovely daughter is losing the battle. I had a chat with her on Friday morning and she told me and my other daughter that she was dying because she can feel a tingle in her chest but she was really not ready. Friends, I know that this is all part of life and that we cannot curl up and die with our loved one, but my heart is shattered. When do we put the pieces back together and how long does it take to come to terms with losing a 45 year old daughter. This week is one year since diagnosis and my child was sure that she was going to survive this monster. Just Friday she asked the Doc if he had given her the chemo. I know that she was disappointed that she did not get better.
So many nights I prayed that God would give me the strength and health to take care of her and I was granted that privilege, Thank God, she was not married no children. Family and friends are with me at her bedside and she is really comfortable, no sounds or signs of pain.
This is all for now. I love you all and wish everyone continued good health.

    Oh my dear, I am so sorry
    Oh my dear, I am so sorry for you! I know a little of what you are going through. I stood by my infant sons' incubator watching his struggle and in so much pain. I then had to make the decision to turn off life support. I was so sure your daughter would get better. I've been told that God answers prayers three ways: 1.yes, 2. Not now, and 3. I have something better in store for you. Stay strong,this will hit you hard later on.Please take care of you. My prayers are with you all. Love, debrajo

    So sorry to hear this.
    May God continue to hold you, your lovely daughter and the rest of the family and friends through this journey. May you all find peace. I personally cannot relate to losing a daughter, or a child at all, but I have lost both my parents and that is an emotional time. Praying for all of you. trish

    I do feel the pain!
    I as well hoped you and your daughter would have more time. Nothing in life can prepare us enough to watch a child pass before us.

    Hope and pray you gain strength to be strong for your dear child.

    Peace be with you and your family~~

    Dear nempark. I am so sorry...

    My heart aches and is bleeding when reading your update. I've not been up nor posted any update here lately as the outlook of my sister isn't good either. She is mainly under palliative care and I don't even know if it's going to be a wise idea to get her on any clinical trial.

    Like you, my mom is also the primary caregiver of my sister. Mom is an ovarian cancer survivor and has been in NED for almost 4 years. (Her 4th anniversary will be in 2 weeks) She is a faithful Christian and her cancer fighting story is a real victory. That's why I always thought the same healing could happen to my sister but never thought my sister would go a totally opposite way.

    Our primary goal at the point is to keep my sister as conformable as possible. I never believed in "miracle" or such thing called "spontaneous remission" but because of my dear sister, I will still do my best to seek any possible for her even all conventional treatments have been running of out answers in her case.

    Take care, dear nempark. I will keep you, your daughter and the rest of the sisters who are fighting the same devil in my prayer.

    No words
    There are no words that I can add to what has already been said. I, too, pray for you to have strength and for your daughter to be comfortable.

    Keep her comfortable as much as possible. My daughter had too much medicine. Talk to her and love her as much as possible. my story is almost the same as mom. I pray that mom keeps healthy, also the rest of the family. Keep in touch.
