Dang, her pet scan just came in. It's bad, surprised the results are in already, it was this morning. Her dad is actually taking her to the ER now, she's been bad since the test. Heart rate up, oxygen around 84. We stopped on the way home, and she looks and sounds bad. According to the PET scan today, it's spread since the scan at the hospital, and the tumors have increased. It's everywhere, innumerable metastatic tumors in her lungs, larynx, juggler vein, liver, intestines, and so on. Also in her hip/legs, it's why she can't walk. The report says she has a fractured rib from tumors, and her femur is fractured from tumors, from tumors, cancer Dr had told her that it was probably the cancer is why she was having trouble walking, she can't at all now. I'm afraid she's not gonna last long, and poor Tiffany. This is going to be so hard on her.

We appreciate it. Probably gonna head down to the hospital, IDK if the stuff they injected for the scan triggered something, or it's just the cancer, but she's having a bad spell right now.

I'll be surprised if they send her home, I'm actually worried she won't be leaving the hospital at all as fast as this is going. Just dropped Tiffany at the door, heck of a storm right now

Feel bad for my father in law, he's trying to hold out hope. He just came out for a minute, and was telling me he thinks it's all just infection. They haven't seen the report from today, that's why Tiffany wanted to be here. They'll probably bring it up, and she didn't want him to be alone when they find out how bad it really is.

All I've got to offer is this: chase acceptance. Tiffany will not get to a point of being anywhere near ready, regardless of how long her mom has.

Watching my mom finish her fight with cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done.

I love y'all. We're praying.

That sounds rough. No advice other than to be available for them.

I'm trying. It's rough watching all of this, especially Tiffany hurting. Trying to balance giving them space as a family (everyone is here), and letting her cry on me. Been trying to be positive for her dad, even making fun of Alabama with him for a bit. Part of her knows she doesn't want her to suffer, and the other part wants them to do something to keep her longer. All of her sisters know about the results now, one is still in Florida. I just hope they all get some time with her before whenever her time is over here.

Here's something I've heard, but never seen up close. I guess it falls under stages of acceptance, or whatever. Tiffany has cried all evening, woke me up a few times crying, which is understandable. I'm not trying to make her sound bad, because I can understand what emotion does to you. Today, she has taken spells of just being angry, mostly angry when crying. Mad her mom wouldn't go to the Dr earlier, saying she was selfish for not getting checked. Angry at her dad for not making her go. She hasn't said that to anyone but me, and I completely understand you gotta kind of let people work through those feelings, I've been there. It's just hard watching her, I want to take her hurt, but can't.

You are her rock. That's all she needs. You don't have to do anything out of the ordinary.

When Mom met Jesus I wasn't ready. Despite the horrible suffering she was experiencing, and me knowing her death would end it, the moment came just before midnight. And I ran out of the house to her front yard screaming. No words, just screaming. Tony was with me. He didn't say a word.

He drove me to my son's duplex, and stood with me in the rain as I waited on my oldest son to come to the door. I couldn't say words, I just cried. My youngest son came out onto the porch and my son's held me and let me cry. Tony stood there, in the rain, and he was my rock.

It's eight years in a few days. And it feels like yesterday. There is no easy way to get through it.

But God never let go.

The hate has to go somewhere. And that's what it is, hate. Hate the situation, hate cancer, hate decisions, hate people, hate God for allowing it to happen.

It's obviously the grief making you think that's what you're feeling. And the guilt of feeling it is horrible too.

I understand completely just being angry. It's not like I've directed it at anyone during her bad times, more myself that I can't fix her. I just hate seeing her feel this way, and I'm worried about the stress on her body.

They're going to keep her. I don't think they've said anything about the PET scan, just guessing they'll wait and let an oncologist talk to them tomorrow. They're just telling her that her oxygen is too dangerous to go home.

Oncologist hasn't been there yet today, but they did say she's not going home. Her breathing has gotten worse, and she's having a fib problems now. Think I mentioned last night, but kinda worried she's not going to be coming home at all. I'm gonna take Tiffany down there, and her sister bring her home tonight.
