it's a tough row to hoe, mj. been there with both my parents. in my situation , this is where i found the hospice people very helpful. they are more focused on the comfort aspect of the situation. both my parents were able to spend their final days at home, in their own bedroom.

most improtantly, be there all you can.

Hang in there MJ and your mom too....I have zero experience with that kind of thing as our families specialties are heart attacks with not alot if any warning. All I can say is do what you can.

:sad: Damn Sorry man.

:sad: oh man, I feel for you MJ.

Hang in there.

Very sorry Joe, praying for your mom and entire family.

I've been on chemo row.
God bless her and watch over her and the family.

It's never easy watching a loved one waste away. My thoughts and prayers go out to you both.

Hang in Joe, its not easy ....God bless all.

I'm really sorry to hear of your Moms situation. Its really hard to watch someone so close to you suffer through such a terrible sickness. We lost my mom in 08, she had stroke after stroke until her quality of life was about 10%. Its really hard to accept the fact that they are fighting such a hard battle, with little chance for rebound or recovery. The preacher told me one thing that stuck in my mind, he said sometimes there's worse things than dying. With my Mom's situation, I could see what he meant. I really feel for you and your family and hope and pray for a miracle.

Thanks all!!!

Heading to hos. in about 2 hours, doc said we should call hospice care to help now. he said before that if we had them come he would not be able to do chemo, some insurance issue?? but now that he isn't going to do anymore chemo, go and call.

Its tuff being helpless to my mom, when we were small she did everything for us!! My dad and her divorced in 1973, mom was left with 4 boys and no help from dad at all. she made sure we had all we needed no matter what we needed!! Now we can't repay her in her time of need :sad:
