Part two-

They went in, said a few expletives, moved her stoma up and over to bypass as many organs as they could, left the tumor, and zipped her up.

Too f!#@$%#$ing big to remove.


You know, this sucks.

They are going to start aggressive Chemo soon, exact time tbd.

This 70 something year old is going to get the snot beaten out of her again.

sigh.

SADShooter:
Sorry to hear it. My wife's 92 y/o grandmother, already suffering advanced Alzheimer's, is in hospice with in infected gall bladder. She's too weak for surgery.

Prayers and best wishes. May the near future be as smooth and tranquil as it can be...

Preacherman:
If you need to talk, shoot me a PM over on THR, or e-mail me at preacherman AT thehighroad DOT org.  I'll do what I can.  Unfortunately, there's no easy way out of this - and I think you know the likely outcome as well as I do.  May I suggest that you begin investigating options such as hospice care, either at home or in a dedicated facility?

Ex-MA Hole:
Yup.

Like I quoted last time, life is fatal.


Some see the glass as half full.
Some see it as half empty.
I see it as too big.

They all have her dead and burried, but it is an emotional response.  EVERY cancer that she has had, in there eyes, has been life threatening.

Some are still talking positive- "She will pull through".

I'm being the realist- "No, I don't think she will".

Life goes on.

Preacherman- thanks for the offer, but I think I'm ok for now.

Unfortunately, in my short 33 years, I have burried A LOT of people.  After a while, you get numb to it.

I'm more upset that my wife is hurting so, if that makes any sense.

Ex, I'm sorry. I can put in a prayer for you all if you'd like.
