A ct scan to check for a small stroke revealed a brain tumor, that had potentially spread from lung cancer. Also in most major organs. Starting radiation today, to hopefully control the growth and pressure on her brain. If that is successful, then possibly chemo for the rest. Too widespread for surgery. We are somewhat overwhelmed but our new family motto is "make every day count" so yall keep us in your thoughts please.
I'm so sorry to hear this sad news...with my older brother's tumor they were very late in getting Hospice involved. If your mother needs it make sure they get involved early enough to help make a difference. You're in my thoughts.
