When they removed my mother's stomach they took 17 nodes to be tested and they are....
<b>ALL CLEAN!!!!!</b> No cancer in those particular nodes. I don't know if mother will still have chemo or not but this is such good news!
All but one IV has been discontinued and they stopped her parenteral feeding. She is on a regular diet. The only problem is she has no capacity. Two bites of rice, two bites of soup and she is stuffed. They are still feeding her 3 times a day instead of 6 or 8 times a day. I happened to catch the dietician and she is changing that at my request (why didn't she already know to do this???) The frustrations of a hospital
Mother is feeling much better, so much better she is driving my sister, Ginger, and me crazy. When the nurse's aid comes in to her room in the AM to bathe her and change her bed, she refuses, telling them, " Oh no, don't bother, my girls will be here in a while and they can bathe me and change the linens on the bed." The nurses aides and nurses love us a lot.
She doesn't want to bother the nurses. We tell her PLEASE let them do their job. But she insists that we do this. Ginger leaves tomorrow AM and it will be me doing it now, <i>alone</i>.
I'm feeling so blessed though. We are so lucky. I can't believe things are going so well. No metastasis and no involvement of the nodes. I was so worried and it's going to be alright, I think.
I am truly blessed not only by the fact that there was no metastasis found but because all of my friends here on the DIS have been so supportive and caring. I've received many private messages offering support and good wishes and I appreciate each one of them so very much.
Thank you, my friends for listening and for being here
