We knew this day was coming. My scan results showed that my brain tumors are growing again. The tumor in my spine stayed the same size, and there are no new tumors in my body. The cancer growth means the new meds are not working. There is nothing left medically to do at this point. My doctor transferred my care to Hospice as of today.
Hospice is going to take over now. The doctor said timeline wise we are at 2-6 weeks or maybe 6 months. Ive been getting stronger and responding well to physical therapy so he thinks that will help give me more time. No one knows the exact time of how long we have. All they can do is guess. At this point we've done everything we can do to buy more time. We are at the point that hospice will just be keeping me pain free and comfortable.
These next few days and weeks are going to be spent with family. We are taking time to process the news. Like I said we knew this day would come, but its still hard to hear and process. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers for my family.
Hi Cassie. We talked to your granddad, Bill, yesterday. Just want you to know that we are praying for you and your family. We send our love to you even though we have never met but feel we know you. May our Lord & Savior give you strength & comfort as only He can. We also pray that you too know Jesus as your Savior. We have been thru so many trials, esp this past year, and can tell you that He really has gotten us thru such rough times. Please tell your husband that we pray for him too. Our love & prayers are for you all & our hearts go out to you. blessings sweet girl
ReplyDeleteThis life is but a vapor, full of troubles and sadness, but our Heavenly Father has a place prepared for those who love him, there will be no more tears,sickness, or goodbyes, We will all rejoice forever and ever with our loved ones and our sweet Jesus. We are still praying and will continue. Cassie, you will never know the impact that you have made on people you don't even know, I am one !!!! I saw you once at the hospital, when we were there with our little grandson, you looked so sweet, and what a precious family you have, Bill and Benita are our good friends, we attend the same church. Jesus will never leave you, he is with you always. We love you Cassie, someday we will celebrate in Heaven. Lisa Smith
ReplyDeleteCassandra, such sad news. If I was the judge I think you deserve to win because you have fought this battle valiantly. You are such a strong woman. I know Elliot will know how much he is loved by you. Your husband is a pillar of strength and he deserves a spit in heaven next to you. Because of you I am appreciating my life and my children and the small moments. I'm so glad you are able to experience motherhood before He calls you back home. You are in my prayers daily. Enjoy the good times. I am forever grateful for you. Jenn
ReplyDeleteA spit in heaven? Wow, that wouldn't be so kind. Let me correct that to spot(better yet..a place). Sorry hubby!
ReplyDeleteCassie. I only know you through your Aunt Debbie. I am so sorry to hear this news. I was so hoping you would have better results with the drugs. There is not much to say to help but just know I am praying for you and your family during this difficult time. Linda Vinson
