Bondodd, a lot of your story sounds sadly familiar. My mother just went through all this and it won. Taking Gem/Cis is highly toxic for the kidneys. Keep an eye on kidney function, water retention, and urine output. Taking those chemo drugs, I would worry more about the kidneys than the tumor. Everyone handles chemo differently but in our case, kidney failure from chemo was the overwhelming problem that could not be overcome.
Good luck. Questions, just ask.Thank you all for the nice words and condolences. For me, the hard work starts now. Trying to get over this incredible sadness and getting used to this “new” normal.
Thanks for the prayers and best wishes.
My family and I have been given a great gift. Celebrating one more Mothers Day with mom. This is my 42nd Mothers Day. I’ve had plenty of practice trying to find the right present, but this is unquestionably the most important present I’ll ever give her. After a lot of thought, I’ve decided on one of those digital photo frames, loaded up with all the birthdays, all the trips taken together and all the special days together. My gift to her is to tell her how great it was to have her here and to remind her of all the good times together. If I were her, I think that’s what I’d like as a gift.
All the best and good luck to anyone fighting this and for their worrying families.
