Thanks so much for your reply. Unfortunately after having to wait one month for an oncologist appointment, (our lovely Canadian system) it was quite a quick visit when the Dr. advised not to have mom go through chemo because she was too weak. She was actually on new pain meds that were started the day before that were making her very groggy...but to no avail. So we couldn't do anything but make her comfortable. How tough it is to watch her get weaker and weaker every day. The meds take so much from her but without them she's be in so much pain. I cry and cry but that doesn't help does it? I keep telling myself that I'm lucky to have had her this long...but I wish I could have her for 88 more.
God Bless your grandmother. May the chemo work for her so you have her for more years to come. !
