Of course anyone knows that with cancer there are so many ups and downs. One of my worst fears with the downs, is to be awoken in the middle of the night with bad news. My mom got me up at 4:30 and said she was on her way to the hospital because she was throwing up blood. I was never so scared in my life to hear this, I went into complete panic mode. We live in a split level, she and her husban upstairs, myself and my twins downstairs. I had the girls so I couldn't go with her, and all she said was that my step father would call me to let me know what is happening. I saw the fear in her eyes, something that made me feel so bad for her. This is how my grandmother died, she was brushing her teeth, her tumor burst and she could not breath, so naturally I was thinking this was happening. Well I guess since the tumor is breaking up due to the chemo, it is bleeding causing her to vomit blood. They admitted her today, and decided to perform emergency radiation, which had never been done on her tumor before. She is going to have another round of radiation tonight, then everyday this week thereafter. I am wondering if radiation is a good sign that things might be heading in the right direction?
