They started chemo again to try to shrink the tumor in her chest cavity so that she can breathe. The chemo WILL NOT do anything for the cancer. This is just to get her ready to go home and live out the rest of her days. I talked with my sil and his 2 brothers yesterday on what to expect (I went through this with my mom 10 yrs. ago). They know what is coming but still not prepared. The doc will keep her in a coma and on chemo for 10 days. After that we don't know.
Please continue praying for the family. This is very hard on them. She is only 50.
Thank you for our thoughts and prayers.
I'm SO SORRY ! What a horrible thing cancer is

my prayers are with your family......after losing my husband last year ...it hits me really hard reading threads like this.......No matter how much they tell us to 'be prepared' .....we never really are. I know I wasn't. Not one bit.

and I'm so sorry about YOUR mom....sending hugs....
