Well in Feb. 2004 we found out mom had lung cancer she started chemo in April then in July had back surgery (she blew out 2 discs). Then she got pneumonia. She spent 5 weeks in the hospital then in October we found out the cancer was on her trachea so chemo was stopped and radiation started. This was awful. She itched so bad. She finished radiation and then December 22 went for her second treatment of chemo but was told she had pneumonia again. They gave her antibiotics thru IV and said bring her back the next day well that night her doc called and said her potassium was too high and to bring her to the hospital. As we were getting ready to go she had a bad spell and she couldn't catch her breath and managed to tell me to call 911. At this point in the emergency room she signed the DNR. She stayed in the hospital and was in severe pain in her back. A bone scan was done and now we're told the cancer is in her bones. She was giving morphine every hour. Then she came home on 12-29-04. I want to know what’s next, what can I expect; my mom is a very bitter person she has been all her life. She does not want to talk about death/dying. I tried talking to my dad but he says whatever mother wants is up to her its her body (she already said no more radiation). I am scared...I have one brother who is an alcoholic and stays drunk since we found out about the lung cancer. I have not told him about it being in the bones, I am hoping he'll have a sober day so I can tell him. I don't want anyone to keep anything from me so I won't do that to him…Thank God I have Christ in my life. He is my source of Strength!!!!!!!!!! I just want to know what to expect next so I can prepare. I would like to hear from someone. Please help me thru this.
