As I said, I suppose I am just checking in. I don't have much to report which is a good thing really. Mama is doing remarkably well. She had a small bought of what I believe was depression (deservably so) after her last hospital stay. Then, she snapped out of it and is as active as ever. I believe that the hospice nurse wonders why on earth she is visiting this woman! The only noticeable problem is the continued weight loss, but even that seems to have slowed. It is quite easy to get comfortable in this. It is almost easy to forget she is sick. I'm not sure if that is good or bad really. I wanted to mention something but am hesitant because I fear people will take it the wrong way....but here goes....Many of you know that Mama refused all treatments. I wasn't sure about the decision but it was hers to make so we supported it completely. Now looking back, I have to wonder if not having chemo has actually prolonged her life. Now, please don't think I am knocking the choice of chemo, or in any way saying it isn't a good idea. Every situation is unique and everyone makes the best decision for them. I just am curious about others thoughts on this. Cynthia- if you feel this is inappropriate please remove it. I in no way want to be offensive.
