my mom also has stage 4, mets to brain, liver, heart, and abdominal lymph nodes. we didnt know it had spread to the brain until her speech got slurred and she lost her ability to balance correctly just this week. we brought her to the hospital and dr admitted her. they started whole brain radiation yesterday. she vomits when she moves....i dont know why. they also started her on tarceva which is a new med (chemo).
this is very very sad for me. i am a single parent, unemployed, with both my mom and dad living with me. my dad is very ill also.
my moms doctor does not seem hopeful at all......
