momma's still in the hospital, they moved her to the Transitional Care floor this evening...she's not well enough to go home, she needs to get some more physical therapy. her final radiation treatment is tomorrow as well.
we spoke to her oncologist this morning, and i asked that question that everyone wants the answer to but nobody wants to ask: "How long's she got?" 4 to 6 weeks was the initial diagnosis, but then she said 1 to 3 months - FUCK. i knew things were bad, but still....
the cancer that she's got in her brain cannot be treated with chemo, and radiation will only lessen it for a bit - it can't be eliminated. so we go through the course of radiation and hope for the best. chemo for the lung cancer is not going to do anything but wear her down all the more - the bad crap she's going through is from the cancer in her brain, not her lung.
this royally sucks.
