Hello Gary,
Took her to the hospital today because she was in a lot of pain and could not swallow water. Did a ct scan and noticed that the cancer has spread to other organs . They also found a blood clot in her lung . Doctor said that’d still need to run more test because we don’t know what type of cancer or stage it’s at. Should be speaking with an oncologist tomorrow to get more information.
My mom has diabetes and high blood pressure. Physically she is pretty strong and has a very good attitude given the situation she is in.
I greatly appreciate your time and feedback.

She is stage 4... I can tell you that much. With spread to organs, that much is obvious. Still... no one knows how she will respond to chemo and immunotherapy treatments. But they must start very quickly! Yes... not looking good... but up to mom if she'd like to give chemo a go. It's going to be rough. Otherwise it's quickly time to make her comfortable... with pain meds and a way to feed herself and hydrate herself.

@celidelriop, any further update about the type and stage of cancer? How is your mom doing? How are YOU doing?
