My mom died on the 18 of April. It hurts even though I'm trying to get used to her not being around. I was her caretaker and it's hard at times. I remember all the good and bad times we had together. We had the normal mother and daughter relationship. I miss her every day. I have pictures, but all I can think of is of the times she was sick. I just can't get that out of my mind. Spend as much time as you have with your dad and tell him you love him.

She is going to have hospice now. She's back home. They took her off her chemo meds because they said they're not doing anything for her. The cancer has spread to her liver. When I got the news, it was shock and I felt sick. I can't do anything about it. I don't know how long she'll live.

If it's common, then there's nothing to worry about. I assume that it's doing the job. She's back in the hospital because she had shortness of breath because she was told by a hospital doctor to not drink that much water. She became dehydrated and is back in the hospital. She can't walk without having shortness of breath. Her vitals are fine, but it's just her good kidney needs help. She still has cancer though.

She had her left kidney removed in November, but it spread to her lymph nodes. The doctor told her that it was gone. She kept having pains in her stomach after she got out of the hospital. She went back to the emergency room last week and just got out. Today at the oncologist we just found out that her cancer came back and there's no cure. He put her on Sutent as a way to prolong her life and keep the cancer from spreading so fast. My dad, brother, and I went and I got so dizzy and had to lie down on the exam table. I just couldn't believe it. My mom is 70. I just don't want to believe this is it. She doesn't seem sad unless she's holding it in.
