Friday~
Cindy:
As of our mother's last ct her cancer has been slowly progressing. She no know longer eats the way she used to and the little she does eat tends to come up within seconds of swallowing.
Seriously wondering if she's a good candidate for esphogeal dilalation?
She's still on 5fu every other Monday for a 46 hr continuous infusion and I'm still giving her daily hydration at home.
Because of my work schedule I've had to release the reigns on my mother's care a bit and allow others to help and have hired a full-time caregiver to help.
At her last chemo appointment she spoke to the nurse practitioner regarding her concerns regarding her constant vomitting, the nurse practitioner said she would consult with the doctor to try to find a solution and go over it at her next chemo appointment this coming Monday.
Although she's always tired she still tries to get outside with the kids if even just for a little while everyday.

Monday~
So mom had chemo today but didn't get an opportunity to speak to the doctor. Instead was told by the nurse that the doctor would like her to have a ct before her next chemo appt in 2 weeks. Scheduled it for this upcoming friday, hoping for some positive news.

Wednesday~
Today for the first time in a long time, after mom had thrown up for the 12th time in a row after taking medication or attempting to have a small bite to eat. She told me she's tired of living this way and wishes it would all just come to an end already. As I sat there quietly I couldn't think of one thing to say to make her feel better that I haven't said a million times before. She's right this does suck and I can't begin to imagine what it's like to be her. I Just wish there was something I could do to turn it all around for her, just one thing, anything...
