Horrible, rotten, miserable, depressing day
Today was terrible. At the end of May my mom was diagnosed with stage 2A pancreatic cancer. She has been going through chemotherapy for the last six weeks. Over the weekend she took a turn for the worst - her bile ducts are now blocked and there is nothing they can do at this point. She had a CT scan today and the tumor has continued to grow even with the chemo treatments. She was hospitalized for a blood transfusion and will come home tomorrow.
It's going to be a tough haul for her, but she is tired of being sick and is going to stop the chemo treatment. If radiation is an option she may try it, but as of today, things look like she only has a short time left. I'm going to stay home with her and try and make her as comfortable as possible, just keeping my fingers crossed that it is something I can handle.
My mom means a lot to me, she has been my friend my entire life. My friends always felt at home around her. I hate watching her fade away, but right now she needs me to take care of her --- many times she has been the caretaker in our family. Life just feels overwhelming right now.
Sorry for being so depressing, but I just needed to let some of this out.
