My mom got the report back from the lab, they found cancer cells in the fluid from the paracentesis. That fluid goes all through her body, so what ever doesn’t have cancer will have cancer soon. They say once the cancer has reached this point, life expectancy is at six months.
I have zero knowledge of what is going on in the real world…after spending days in a hospital …whose initials spell out UGH and which my mother’s hospital room window looked out onto a shithouse. No, seriously.
A garden shed made to look like an outhouse. A hospital known as UGH… the sarcasm writes itself.
Anyway, let’s make this an open thread. I can’t do anything thing else.

Sorry for the lack of interest in the post the last several months. I am very tired. Frustrated.
My heart is with you.
Oh, JJ. Gentle hugs.
Beautiful, soulful picture of your mother.
Oh, my dear skydancing. I wish you strength in the days to come, patience with that which must be endured and a serene and beautiful end of days with your lovely and beloved mother. Your journey is one of the most difficult with which we can be tasked. Love to you and your mom.
I’m so very, very sorry that you and your mom got bad news, JJ.
Very sorry to hear about you mom. Be strong. Your friends love you and have your back.
I’m so sorry about your mother.
Oh, JJ. So, so, so sad to hear this.
Is that a photo of your mom?? I assumed it was of a movie star.
Surely that photo is way too old to be JJ’s mom. More of a mood, I think.
Yes Sweet Sue, it was a picture suggestive of a mood.
Somehow I thought she had something of your eyes about her, JJ.
If they’re scientists, they’ll say climate change is real, though they may well differ on some of the specific effects and the timeline. If they say there is no climate change, then they’re not scientists.
It’s like being drawn and quartered.. so many competing pains at once. I’m sorry, JJ.
Thank you all for your support, it helps tremendously because the last few days are like stumbling around in the darkness. I don’t have the words.
I see that Green Book won the Oscar… I will post this thread here, read it to the last:
JJ – So sorry about the bad diagnosis. Hope they’re wrong. Best wishes to both you and your Mom.
