Thanks Cindy for updating for me! Sorry such a long update! We're home now, got in at 2 this morning. I didn't have access to the net while we were there.
Sunday on our way there, we were a little over half way when I got a call saying they were releasing my aunt to go home for a couple of days. We were all shocked!!! The doctors couldn't get her surgery scheduled for Monday like they told the family, they did get it scheduled for Thursday.
When I got to see her Sunday afternoon, she looked the same except she had HUGE, dark circles under her eyes. That's when I found out that she's only had one hour of sleep in a week and a half.
They have gave her everything to try to get her to sleep, she just won't sleep. She's on so much medication that would knock someone out for at least week maybe two. We all think she's afraid to actually lay down and sleep. Afraid that she won't wake up. Yesterday, we did get her to lay down and rest. She did sleep for 2 1/2 hours!
Here's the story on the cancer part. Six months ago she was visiting her son and got really bad sick. They took her to the doctor and they couldn't find anything wrong. They even done a full body scan to see if it was a possible that she might have had cancer then. There was nothing no signs of it what so ever. Now six months later, she has a tumor in her lung and one on her brain. They said shes in stage 4 which is the last stage. The one on her brain is in the baby stages but its growing fast. It's 1 1/2 inch in diameter. They said they would have to take that out first, then radiate her whole head, then treat the lung with chemo and they aren't so sure that more cells will pop up. They aren't sure how much damage is done yet.
They did tell us that even if they get all of it from the brain there is a chance that she may go into a coma, or she may have some paralysis. They really don't know the outcome of the surgery, but they do know that if they don't do the surgery soon then well we all know what will happen. They said the cancer that's in her brain is the fast acting kind.
That's all I know for now. Just keep praying please. Thanks everyone!
