Doctors took out part of her intestines, and a few other parts and after 7 days in hospital was discharged and went back to work with the "we'll keep an eye on you".pep talk.
Two years later she tested positive for pancreatic cancer, another stint in hospital with a Whipple surgery and a partial removal or her liver and more chemo, three days at home and she went back to work so as not to piss off the company she worked for. She arranged her schedule so she could get chemo and work afterwards. That kept her in insurance. She went into remission for almost 8 yrs then one morning she had sharp pain in her side and off to the hospital she went. ONC said he had super chemo that worked 99% of the time, She was in the 1% that it didn't so off to chemo/radiation which kinda worked but she developed 3 brain tumors the day before fathers day this year and underwent removal of the largest and radiation on the two small ones. ONC tells us he has a wonder drug that works 99.5% of the time so off we went last week for testing and to get her scheduled for wonder drug infusion. That's set for Nov 20. Next week. On Nov 8 we had fed our dog and she went to set her on the floor and then she fell out of the chair seat and banged her head.

I call 911 and they were johnny on the spot taking her to the emergency room. i followed and stayed with her. She was talking to me and the triage nurses and then stopped. Nurse tried to get responses from her to no avail and they moved her out of triqge to q private room where she passed about 6 hours later.

I had the privlege to be with her that entire time and as hard as it was I wouldn't trade that time for anything

I'm sorry I got so wordy but my fingers wouldn't stop typing.

Thank you for your kind words.......I feel them in my heart
