in Head and Neck Cancer #1

My mom is not doing well. Goes to retina specialist tomorrow to see if the radiation is working on the eye tumor. She is starting to loose weight a few pounds at a time. Losing appetite, coughing a lot and spitting up lots of blood and cancer tissue. The bad thing about going through head and neck cancer with my husband is knowing the symptoms of end of life and seeing them in mom. Please keep my mom and our family in your prayers during this dreadful time. It is going to be especially hard for me since it has only been a year since losing Jim. 

 

Thanks for all the support and prayers my CSN friends.

Debbie

    Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother.  I pray for the family's peace and comfort.  It is very hard to watch your love one suffer.  For me, I can't believe that Joe is still fighting so hard and there is nothing he can do for himself now.  But his will and strength is really something.  

    Wishing you and your family peace and comfort -- Sharon

    As you know Debbie sometimes all our caretakers can do is to just be there for us holding on. I believe it is a lot harder on the caretakers, we might be there with the pain, suffering and dying but our caretakers all they can do is to watch and hold us. My prayers are for you both that God will give you the strength you need to go through this again.

     

    Praying for you and your Mother
