Thank you Lainy Susan and Marion,
It’s good to know you all understand, although I’m sorry you do for your own sakes. I realize I’ve been putting a lot of my frustration at CC towards my friends who haven’t been here for me, because I feel alone.
The scan and meetings w/ the dr were mixed, the scan was good: no growth. But the dr basically said there isn’t much more he can do, because chemo would be too risky now. They want to solely focus on quality of life. My mom said she feels a little like she’s been kicked out of the house. The “house” is Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and they’ve been amazing for the most part, but I do think I’ll ask mom if she wants a second opinion. I don’t know who in the area would be as qualified as them to speak to CC, though.

Along the same lines, what, if anything, do I need to know about hospice? The dr suggested she enroll w/ them. He said that if they get involved early, as this would be, that they have the ability to make her life better and possibly even extend it. I just don’t want to feel like we’re giving up… hope and moving forward is all we can do sometimes.
Thank you all again.
