Last night my mom’s doctor called with the results of her blood test. It shows that her liver is failing. There is nothing more they can do. The chemo would be harmful and not really do anything at this point. We were all here together to talk to her. I just pray that the pain isn’t too bad. It has already gotten worse. She is home and we would like to keep her home if possible. We are starting to look into hospice home care. This is like a nightmare that I wish I could fix. We decided last night the best word for this would be “UNFAIR.” Please pray.

Thanks for your support -
I am so sorry. Unfair really is a good word. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. When my grandma (who raised me and was my best friend) was preparing to leave me, I asked her if she had any thoughts for me…she said be happy. I think about those words all the time. Prayers and Hugs to you and your family! Bo
Cherish every moment you have. From your pictures it appears your mom has raised a lovely succesful family and is reaping the rewards, in the form of so much love and support. What a wonderful and touching testimony to a life well lived.
Insure that mom knows all the things you may have not taken time to tell her, or that seemed to silly.
Cancer may well be unfair, but it only has the power we allow it. Loving and living wrench the power from this awful disease, and render it broken.
Live, Love, Laugh, Repeat.
Hugz and prayers

Dear friend, words can not say how I feel as I type this. Just know that I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love Sherri
I am so sorry to hear about this recent turn of events in your mom’s journey. If the doctors feel chemo won’t help, I’m glad she will not have to endure those treatments anymore.
I keep thinking about your lovely wedding and feeling that your mom probably had the time of her life, getting to attend and see you at such a happy moment in life.
I will be here with everyone else, keeping your mom and family in my thoughts. Take care.
I wish I had the words to help you through this, but I know 1st hand the words are hard to find. The body is a amazing thing and liver does have the amazing ability’s I just lost a friend that was told 2 years ago there was nothing they could do. They gave her 6 mos. She lasted 2 years. Putting a time limit on ones life doesn’t mean you have to listen to it. Explore all avenues before giving up. I will keep you and your mother in my prayers remember trust in your instincts.
God Bless

Here comes a great big Hug!
Thank you for all of the sweet thoughts!
