Thanks to all for your input. I'm not sure if that is what I wanted to hear but at least it sounds like what could be happening with my mom. I don't know if I want to push my mom for another CAT scan because if it shows the tumor has really increased then she'll be more depressed and give up. She is already on morphine pills (15 mg) for a pre-existing condition (diabetic neuropathy) and I have suggested she ask the doctor to increase the dosage but it makes her so drowsy she doesn't want to increase it. Meanwhile she is taking aspirin/Tylenol every 3-4 hours for the pain which really doesn't make it totally go away. I feel so helpless...she is not a good candidate for chemo or surgery so I don't know what else we can do.
