Mom Has 4-8 Months: How Do You Deal????

Hi Vinnie: I am very sorry about your Dad. My Mom was diagnosed with Gallbladder cancer in June. They removed her gallbladder and found cancer in the liver and her bile ducts. The doctor had to put stents in her liver to help drain the bile. She has been in and out of the hospital since June. They tried chemo for a while, but, last month she had a stroke, which left her with poor speech, she has a hard time walking, and slight paralysis in her right side. It is very sad for my family they gave my mother 1 to 2 months left in September. She is home now, we called in Hospice, they are wonderful. But they are only there 4 hours a day. We all take turns staying with her the remainder of the time.

My Mom was so active. She is 75 years old and was never sick, and had no signs before this. It is just so hard to deal with all of this, and try to act normal at work. I think my family really needs to speak with someone.

Thanks for sharing.

Carol
