Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 143 | Joyce is currently in the hospital fighting an infection. She is very weak and unable to stand up. She even missed her doctor's appointment Tuesday. We just heard from my sister-in-law that she has a stomach infection. Could that be caused by the peg tube?
Also they found a lump on her neck? It is upsetting to get this news again. I have a feeling it is her oral cancer that mets to her throat. We will find out sometime tonight.
Appreciate all your input.
Thanks

Wishing Joyce all the very best with everything.
