I hate to have to say this and I still cant believe this is happening but my mom passed away yesterday morning in her home.
She had only done 2 treatments of chemo. It was just too hard for her. She was too weak. She hadnt received much nutrition at all because it made her sick. They day prior to her passing, she had actually kept down two cans of food and told us she felt better, and she seemed to look better...monday and tuesday were her good days.
Tuesday morning she started hemorrhaging, a lot. My step dad was with her. She collapsed and didnt regain consciousness. I was notified at work while I was teaching.

Best of luck to you all and thank you for being there for me during this awful time in my life
