Good morning all
 Sharing some good news....after over a year of having no interest in food and being unable to eat, Mom has turned a big corner. She actually woke up hungry in the middle of the night last night...enough to get up and get a snack. She woke up hungry again this morning....and was making herself peanut butter toast and orange juice while I was still pouring my first cup of coffee. She's slowing gaining weight....and she's eating a huge variety of food frequently through the day. Pretty amazing stuff. When I look at her now, as compared to when she arrived only about 3 weeks ago, her color is better...she is stronger...the dizziness is gone...she's eating all kinds of things throughout the day rather than 1 or maybe 2 cartons of yogurt only....and her dehydration problem is completely resolved (thank goodness for Pedialyte....that stuff is a miracle). Her mood has improved dramatically as a result, now that she is feeling more like herself....and she's talking about how she could do this with chemo every 3 weeks for quite some time....rather than planning and waiting for her death. She knows that the cancer isn't going to get cured....and we're only buying time....but now she's ready to buy it, and enjoy it....and that's good.

Ok more good news! My Mom saw the oncologist and she is doing really well. All her blood tests look great. She told her to go out and enjoy herself. She went to the grocery store and the book store and was so happy to be out. She is still weak and tired but feeling good and no pain! Her appetite is great and she is gaining weight. January 10 is her next round of chemo.
It is amazing to me how well she has done with the chemo. She was against it because of what she saw my Grandma go through. That was over 30 years ago. Things have gotten better with cancer treatment. She was in a lot pain before and not eating and now she has no pain and is eating great. Tomorrow night we will have a little party at her house for the new year. I am so happy and feel so blessed. Jo I am happy your Mom is doing so well! Maybe it was the morphine that made her feel so bad? Happy New Year to you all! Clay I am inspired by your posts and your positive attitude. This thread has made things a little easier. |
