Thank you all again. Lainy I have considered that but my mother is a very stubborn woman lol. Tiah I am very sorry to hear about your mother, no one our age should have to carry this type of weight on our shoulders but it does make us stronger.
An update on mom: we were finally moved from the emergency room to observation where they decided to completely replace her drain as it somehow became dislodged inside. We were discharged not long after on Wednesday afternoon and she felt great for the rest of the night and into Thursday. Thursday night she began having fevers and chills after flushing the drain. Her doctor advised we come back to the emergency room, and it is now “technically” Friday, at 1:15am and they will be running all kinds of tests as usual to see what it could be this time. Her doctor suggested at first maybe something was pushed during the flush as all of the symptoms started right after but they do not believe the tumor alone would cause the 102 and rising fever.
Thank you all so much for your kind words it truly means a lot. We are from the Philadelphia area in south jersey and have also consulted with a doctor at USC for a potential clinical trial coincidentally by a family friend but with her progression and infections that is also no longer an option.
We are actually in the emergency room now because her drain that was placed 1 week ago began to leak at the insertion site when I flushed it. After 5 hours in the waiting room they finally gave her pain meds and 2 hours later were still waiting for scans to figure out what this issue could be.
My mother has definitely helped me to be the strong woman I am to fight this and it’s so nice to hear it from you all as well.
