As most of you know, she has stage 4 bladder cancer and does not wish to go through all the difficult treatment options that she has. None of them are great (removal of the bladder and possibly portions of the vagina and uterus depending on whether it has spread, chemo, etc. So this will be a difficult time for all of us, particularly my mom. I expect it to be painful and full of medications for comfort. I have promised her not to try to prolong life, but rather to focus on her comfort for the time to come.
Please feel free to leave comments and I will let her know that she has many people thinking about her. I will write on a regular basis, at least several times a week to keep everyone informed of how things are going.
