I want to thank everyone for their support. I do find myself still thinking this is all a dream. I guess I am still in the denial stage. This is an awful cancer, and I hope I never again have to watch someone go through what my Mom did. My Dad is the hero in this family. He has taken care of my Mom since day one of the diagnosis, and did everything for her in the end. The end came so fast that she was able to stay in the home in her own room and bed, which I know is what she wanted. Thank you again, I hope one day they find a cure for this wicked cancer.
It is with heavy heart that I tell you my Mother passed away on July 31st. Her cancer had spread to her spleen and bones. She passed at home with her family around her. Thank you for all your support.
I talked with my sister Krista, and she told me my Mom’s doctor couldn’t even finish reading my the report from Stanford (he actually told my parent’s this also) because it was too depressing. I would hope that my parent’s go and get a second opinion, but they are from a small town and my Mom doesn’t want to travel. I guess it is her choice.
Thanks to all for your support. My parents actually live near Vandenberg AFB, which is considered central coast California. They commuted up to Stanford where she received her cyberknife treatment. I am in the Air Force and am stationed at Beale AFB which is in northern California. I gave my Dad the information about sirspheres and he said he will ask her doctor (that is if he can get it by what he calls the “war department”, which is my Mom). She doesn’t like going to the doctor, and says she doesn’t want my Dad pestering him with questions. I told that is what the Doctor is for, and she should vocalize all of her concerns and questions to him.
Pat, I am sorry to hear about how your Mom’s doctor lied to your parents. I hope all goes well, and I also hope they are having the time of their life.
