The last week or so has been a haze. Our mother went to the hospital last week after six months of struggling with weight loss and no appetite, discomfort after eating. And just exhaustion. Less then six months ago the hospital sent my mother home with a diagnoses of pancreatitis. At that time my mother could not afford the $800 a month for health insurance. Being she was only 63(now 64) and couldn't get medicaid/medicare. Since slightly before then she's lost 100LBS!!! She was convinced it was herself. It's so tragic.
But we've been crushed by the news, it was not pancretitis but pancreatic cancer. We are looking into why it was not biopsied at this first visit. Her cancer is terminal, stage four, metastasized. All these terrifying words.. this is taking her from us.

Today we took her back in for a swollen foot and we are back in the ER waiting to be admitted. She has blood clots in both legs. Thank goodness we got her here. We have just come to find out that the cancer is also in her bones. The clots are also in her lungs. Our mother, Diane has spent her entire life caring for others. Being there for people. She was always helping someone. Always doing whatever she could for people in her life. cousins and friends. She helped people to a flaw. She doesn't deserve this. So many things she deserves but not this. She deserved to live the life she'd worked so hard for. She deserves to see her grandkids grow up. She deserves to grow old in a little house she bought and paid for with years of hard work and love. But the reality is not that. My mother has little hope of a miracle. And the stress of the financial burden is just that another burden. After a giant battle and many neurotic hours of phone call after phone call She has insurance. And I wish that the terrible fight we've been given ended at that. Ended with us having insurance. But insurance means so little in this. Our average costs of keeping her alive until she choses not to is thousands. Please help my mother not have one more burden. She lived such a thankless life and we want ever gratitude possible. Thank you for reading this. Even if you did not know our mother. Please please live your life to every second because of her. To our ever giving mother
