My mom took a turn for the worse.
The doctor is now saying that the cancer has now spread to her lymph nodes and her brain. Once they opened her up it spread rapidly. She's also had a series of mini strokes. She's not herself anymore. She's yelling at us. She's mean to the nurses. She thinks people are spying on her, etc. She's completely losing her mind. She thinks we have her in the psych ward of the hospital. The doctor has made us limit our time with her so that she can start learning how to take care of herself again. She's not walking as much, not eating and crys when we aren't around. It's so heartbreaking. All she does is stare at us and when she does talk most of the time it doesn't make sense.
She also has fluid on her lungs and they are worried it will settle in to phnemonia. Every time I go to see her I search for the part of my mom that I know, and quite honestly, there's nothing there anymore. The doctors swear it isn't her medicine. They believe it is the cancer and the strokes that are causing her to act like this. I'm angry, confused, mad, sad and frustrated.
Please say a prayer that God takes her peacefully or gives her the strength to survive. I hate seeing her in such a state of mental confusion. And of course she's still in pain from the surgery.
Re: My mom took a turn for the worse.
I am so sorry you and your family are going thru this. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there.

I don't know if you ever watch John Edward on tv but he had a lady on his show that lost her son and her saying is "no losses only blessings". Feel blessed that you have had her in your life.
Keep your chin up....you have so many people praying for you.
