This is a hard entry to write, especially after rereading the Oct 8 post. As my sister said the CA-19 test results were a cruel hoax played on us. The tumor has not shrunk at all. The extreme tired, and fever spikes, and rumbly stomach were not chemo side effects, but the cancer fighting back and hard. She is on hospice care, and at home. The doctor says about 2-3 months is what she will have left. So our Thanksgiving was a time of saying goodbye. Janice, Ron, and I will rotate being with her. She had a good holiday, and when awake enjoys talking to friends and family. She took a fall on Wednesday that scared us all. But besides a bruised arm and sore ribs she is doing well. She smiled a lot this past weekend. She loved that the whole family was together at her house. We are grateful for a lot of things. Our family has been blessed.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm sorry the numbers from your last post were not true. I'm glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving reunion though. And, I'm thankful that we get to share another precious baby soon!
:( We will pray for you and your family. I love you Anderson peoples!
We love you and we are thinking about you!
Oh Marlene! I am so sad for you. I thought a lot about whether I would have wanted to know that my dad was going to die, or if it was better that I didn't know and was taken by surprise. I have decided: both ways stink!!!
I hope and pray the time you have left with her here is wonderful and peaceful and that you'll have no regrets.
