Words are not enough - wish we could all come by and give lots and lots of hugs. Cancer is so ugly - makes us have to make heartbreaking decisions and go through such tremendous soul destroying situations. You are asked to make the decision to prolong the life of a loved one so she can go through treatments that mean more pain and tortuous days, but when does one say enough? HOW does one say enough when we know it means letting go of any hope.

I'm so sorry Mary, I was hoping for better news when I saw that you'd posted an update. It must be so hard to fathom that she was fine at Christmas, and has deteriorated so much in such a short time. (((Hugs)))

Thank you. It means so much to me. I am so sad for those who are dealing with or lost loved ones to cancer in your own families. You are always in my prayers as well.
Today was a slightly better day. We did get her to eat a little more than she has been eating and she drank some Ensure. She’s tolerating the heparin well so they did not have to move her to ICU. Her pain management team seems to have her pain under pretty good control. I was able to get some sleep last night and spent the whole day at the hospital today. We insist that her wife go home for a little bit every day. Being there 24/7 is absolutely exhausting for her but I love how amazing she has been for my sister. They have been together for over 40 years and their love is an inspiration to me. We are just trying to take it day by day right now and we are very grateful for the excellent medical care she’s getting. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful hospital right here in town. She’s being treated at the same cancer center that saved my life.
I had silicone bracelets made for family and friends that say Team Kathy on one side and Nobody Fights Alone on the other side. I believe that and she has a lot of love and support behind her.

I just saw on another post that you're bringing your sister home on hospice. I am so very sorry. Yes. We had a very honest talk with the oncologist earlier this week and he told us that she was not strong enough to do chemo. Her cancer is a very rare and aggressive form of endometrial cancer and is not usually very responsive to chemo anyway. We could try and get her strong enough to do chemo but it would be brutal for her with little result so the decision was made by her and her wife and fully supported by us to bring in hospice. They were going to put in a drain today for the fluids that accumulate in her abdomen but they had to postpone until tomorrow. Hopefully we will be able to bring her home tomorrow. Hospice has already delivered the bed and oxygen to the house. Just waiting for her to be discharged from the hospital. We are committed to making her last days as comfortable and pain free as possible.
