Sad update....The cancer continued to grow in her brain and it also spread to her lungs. She completed all the rad Txs and chemo Txs to no avail. She has been under Hospice care at home for the last 2 weeks. Now she is pretty much unable to recognize anyone and her doctor and Hospice have told me it's just a matter of days. At this point I wish she would just give in and move on to her next life. She is strongly religious so I hope that is of some comfort to her because, believe me, nothing that she has endured has been remotely comforting.

I hope I never have to be a part of something like this again and I can't even begin to imagine going thru this with my spouse or other loved one.
