Hi T,
My mother also has had a lot of pain associated with this form of cancer and has been on a 50mg patch of Fentanyl. She has now been pain free during these last few months of life that she has left. She too wishes to be home. I pray for you and your family. God Bless all of us.

Thank you all so much. In two days, before my eyes, mommy seems to be having such a difficult time. She has literally been asleep since Tuesday with brief moments of waking to use the restroom or eat a little but then falls back to sleep. She was given more frequent nausea medicine, 1mg every 4 hours and then an 8mg every 8 hours. I thought the nausea meds were making her sleep but now I am not so sure. She is also on the Fentenyl patch, 50mg. That is changed every 3rd day. But that was not making her sleepy just taking the pain away. Please, help with any and all thoughts. I’m sorry to ramble but I am a tad scared.
God Bless All of You,
TiffanyI called her this morning. She did say yesterday, not knowing it was food from 7 days ago, that it would be an ER situation.
I don’t understand why is she is throwing up food from more than a week ago. Is there a blockage? It is breaking my heart..
I wrote this not knowing that it would all change today. Her chemo has been cancelled for this week due to the toxicity returning and she threw up food from 7 days ago. I left her last night feeling descent and rushed back to her today to feeling down right horrible. She is on 8/4 hour nausea medicines, dizziness pills, the pain patch, and the umpteen other meds. I’m so sad. So scared. She is feeling the same way too. I love her so much and feel almost helpless.

Thank you and I am sorry about your inner ear infection. We did go back to the GI specialst yesterday and only until I mentioned the vomitting did he then think there was an upper blockage like your pops, Jen. She is having an upper scan on Friday. She see’s her oncologist on Thursday, as well.
She has those “great” days but most, not so much. I am with her all of the time, trying to keep her spirits up. Knowing that I lost my dad to CC two months ago is still heartwrenching and consumes my mind.
We should have a better understanding after the results from both scans, she is having another Pet/CT next week too.Jen my heart is with you. I feel your sadness as I have watched my Hero battle this for so long. I am blessed to have her these additional 17 months. Life is gift and when the time comes it is then an eternal gift. Having to think about losing both of my parents in one year to CC is mind blowing.
God Bless all of you & I will let you know what they say.

Megin,
My thoughts are with you and your mommy. Me and my mommy are fighting this same monster. I understand your anger.

Thank you, to All of you. Tomorrow she is having a central line put in because of her veins being so weak, the have caused clotting and they Blow almost as quickly as they are placed. I will show the Dr. her legs then and the following Tuesday, she begins chemo again and an oral form, as well. I will be better prepared to fire off my questions and demand the answers.
I guess I am in a odd spot because my mother has left my step-father (who promised to take care of her but did not) and is now living with my aunt. I went to see her yesterday and she said “we have more company”…wow, I just thought I was family.
I will figure this all out. Your thoughts and suggestions are exactly what I need. My sister has taken a back seat as well, she being the oldest, so for me to find all of you is what God wanted, so I would not be left in the dark.Thank you and as the questions arise I will ask away.
Tiffany (TJ)
Wow!!!! That is all I can say….and a Big Thank You!!!! The breast cancer was so clean and easy compared to this one. I will reach out to the nutrition site and to the Dr. Being able to talk like this is simply amazing to/for me. My Aunt has taken over the primary care due to the fact that was my mom’s wishes. I felt I had taken a back seat until I demanded to know what was wrong with her and it wasn’t until this past Sunday she even named this as her beast. Thank you so very much and as questions arise, I will be sure to post them on here.
Lovingly,
TJ
