We were told around midnight that she has lung cancer and it's spread to stomach... possibly even the bone marrrow.
Explains 15 lb weight loss in a week...
All very sudden..
We thought pnuemonia but she was getting worse so dh took her to ER ( ambulance because she couldn't get up)
...her doc had been trying to call her the past 3 days but phone was off..
Anyways they told her and dh last night, he's there now ..
they have social worker on the way to sign living will/power of attorney to him because she's not coherent enough to make any sound decisions herself.
This was all VERY fast ... she just took herself to doc and was at work on Friday ... feeling BAD but not this bad.
they have her on morphine
Docs are trying to decide if it's even treatable at this point
