It's not the best time for visitors or phone calls. Give her a few days.
This blog used to be called "Maura vs.Toby"."Toby" was a four-pound Unclassified Sarcoma that surgeons removed from Maura's abdomen in April, 2008. She died on May 19, 2009. Toby's evil spawn may have killed her body, but Maura lives on. The tumors, on the other hand, were incinerated. They are gone. And she is in pain no more.

Rock and a Hard Place
CT results are in. Not good news. The short version is that the tumors are back with a vengeance. Maura once again has ascites, fluid in her abdomen, caused by the recurrence of the tumors, which leaves her abdomen uncomfortably distended. She is in pain. There are no more acceptable options for chemo that can be safely given to her without killing her heart or her kidneys or her bone marrow. Dr. B will seek to put her in a program that is an experimental drug that should not ruin any vital organs but might have some effect on the tumors.
I'm so sorry to hear that. But remember He doesn't give us more than we can handle. I will keep you all in my prayers. Hang in there.
