gran Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 Just heard from my sister, the treatment has been stopped now, for what reason exactly is unclear, but her pain relief has been increased. Emma just sent me this when I asked why they have stopped the treatment Because she can't take the medication and she said it's cruel to keep trying to make her Seems strange this to me. It must be terrible for you to hear this, but this is not strange. Pain relief is important, no need for your mother to suffer without reason. My grandmother had cancer and when the treatment no longer had any chance of saving her from the disease the treatment was stopped and from then on they focused on saving her from the suffering.
Mike on a bike Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 Micky any questions on specific meds treaments PM me, maybe get sister to get her chart email over to you for more details. I can also consult with a doc or two if out of my area RWG has a deep bench in a lot of fields. 1
SSTEEL Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks Mike, Emma just sent this.. there is nothing more they can do x mom is dying x the myeloma has become very aggressive and has reached her lungs x
astonjenks Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 Micky I am very sad to hear this, my thoughts and hopes are with you. Regards AJ 1
GenTLe Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 Only thing I can say is that I hope she will not suffer and the doctor will properly do some painkiller therapy. 1
SSTEEL Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks, I have been in contact with my sister all day, my mom has slept most of the day, fading in and out of a sleep state, when awake, she is unable to talk properly, but appears to know who's there with her, my aunties, uncles, and family have all been to the ward today too. Just heard from Emma that she managed to eat some ice cream this evening, so thats a good thing. My other sister, Kerry will be staying with her overnight in the ward.
kernow Posted May 3, 2015 Report Posted May 3, 2015 Her comfort is now paramount. She maybe holding out for you to get to her, don't make her wait. Fingers crossed that you get there in time to comfort her. 1
SSTEEL Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Posted May 3, 2015 Andy's going to take me straight to the hospital G, and I will stay with her that night. 1
kernow Posted May 3, 2015 Report Posted May 3, 2015 Good. I know it's an awful situation, but you both need this. If you want a beer later let me know. 2
SSTEEL Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Posted May 5, 2015 See you this afternoon Andy. Will be leaving here in a couple of hours. 1

Nanuq Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 Kernow, Micky and AJ, please go have a couple rounds of beers on me when you get the chance. I'm holding out hope you'll make it in time. Someone PM me the damage and I'll cover it.
