She's 82yrs old and they found a large lump they thought to be breast cancer then found out it was lymphoma. They offered a very aggressive chemo treatment she refused. She has refused any scans to see if the cancer has spread anywhere else in her body, so we haven't been told what kind of lymphoma or anything else. She has been sick with high calcium low sodium growing weaker stomach problems, no appetite gagging and nausea. She doesn't speak of the cancer she doesn't acknowledge any of her sickness is due to the lymphoma. Without knowing extent of the cancer we don't know know where she has it at this point and we don't know what to expect. The oncologist recommended us contacting hospice to let them start coming so she can get familiar with them. We are just dealing with whatever comes at this point we are aware things are goin to be bad very bad.
