Cancer Support and Caregivers Who Are Trail Blazers!

My Mom is on hospice now. The cancer is in her lungs, spine, brain and liver. She just finished a 10 day course of palliative radiation. It did help. She is on all kinds of medication now. She also forgets words and has neuropathy from the chemo. She is 74! The doctor did not attribute it to old age! The lesion in her brain was causing headaches and slurred speech and that has improved with the radiation and steroids. Sorry to be a downer here! We have to be with her 24/7 now and sometimes she gets annoyed at allllll these people up in her business! She really enjoyed Christmas though.
