I'm still trying to comprehend this. I mentioned this in the Suzanne Somers thread. Three weeks ago, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, it came on so quickly that even the doctors were surprised. Last November, her legs gave out on her and had been in the hospital from that point on. We never got a concrete diagnosis on what happened.
She started getting better and was getting some strength back in her legs and she had been doing rehab from my sister's house, and three weeks ago, she said the three words she fought so hard to never ever say: "Call an ambulance."
They thought it was a gall bladder issue and were going to remove it. That is when they found it, the tumor on her pancreas. They couldn't do anything at that point. My mother didn't want anymore doctors. The doctor himself said the tumor wasn't likely there 4 weeks ago.
6 days ago, she was placed in hospice. I saw her once, on Wednesday. I told her it was okay for her to go.
At 1:10 am last night/this morning, she took her last breath. My sister and nephew were there staying the night plus I had put framed pictures around her bed.
We are Jewish and we bury quickly as per our traditions. My family has a plot reserved with 100 graves reserved for blood relatives, and 35 or so are filled. She will be laid to rest Sunday morning. It's now just me and my dad in the apartment.
As for what will happen because of this, I don't know, bills, rent, etc. Yeah, there's a possibility of being homeless. She had debt, but she also had a huge costume jewelry collection that she believed to be worth 6 figures minimum. I'm not thinking about that. Gotta take this one day at a time.
Lastly, I implore anyone who sees this to pay heed to this last statement, don't be stubborn to the point where you refuse to admit to needing help, especially if it results in neglecting your health, physically or mentally. If you're in pain, get it checked. If you need to call an ambulance, it's not a weak decision, it's the strongest one you can make.
