My mother in law Sue has been battling Stage 4 Lung Cancer the past 2 years. She has lived pain free for two years and people will often say that she does not look like she can have cancer. How could they have told her it was incurable and that she would live only 15 months when she was diagnosed in Jan 2015. Since around Dec 15, 2016, she has actually been sick. Meaning she has begun to be uncomfortable and in some pain. She has had multiple brain tumors, her esophagus has been closing shut and she has been starving literally. She went into the hospital on Wed to get a feeding tube so she could finally get some nutrition into her stomach. The tube finally got put in on Friday morning and we she was able to start using the feeding tube on Sat morning. Since we were warned not to drive on MO roads because of this huge ice storm we never really got, we haven't got to visit her since Friday evening. This morning, John woke up to a call from his mom. She said they doctor had just come in after a morning blood draw to tell her that her kidneys were shutting down and she was being moved to a hospice home today. We were very sadden by the news, but she said she fought hard and was ready to stop living this way. We headed down to the hospital to say our goodbyes before she got worse and then head over to the new hospice house.
