CIndy, How is your husband doing? So sorry to hear he went in the hospital.

Minnie, Thank you again for the advice. I just got home and it is late and I will write more tomorrow but wanted to briefly respond. Thank you for encouraging me to stand up to my mom and for sharing your story. Wow, you must be busy with all your children over there! ;-) How many kids do you have? I am happy to hear things worked out for you. My mom is similar to you in that she was the caretaker and always in control. I imagine it is hard for her to let go of that, and I wont ask her to.

Kirk Georgia, thank you also for the response. What is the "magic mouthwash"??? I will suggest that to my mom. My mom is being treated now (as of a week ago) By a pain management medical oncologist that sees twice a week, and she sees her surgeon once a month. Thats all. No, she is not at a major cancer center. I will suggest that to my family. Thank you for the advice.
My mom is stubborn about the feeding tube. My goodness, she lost more than half her body weight and she still wont do it. I will try to suggest it again. Thanks. I am glad it worked for you.

I will continue my prayers for all of you. I really do appreciate your support.
Love
Stephany
