Very inspiring! My Mom is in the similar condition but her post covid lungs are giving her much harder time. She’s on O2 24/7 and only able to wean off only for about 15-20 minutes a day. We know that time is not on her side but doing all that can keep her comfortable and happy. it’s very worrying to think of what’s coming. She’s not taking any oral chemo drugs asr the Drs believe she must come out of her fragile condition to be able to withstand side effects of these drugs.
Wishing you lot of courage and grit!

Chemo is hard! No way around that. Maybe when she recovers from the covid, she can resume some treatments. Covid is hard too, one of the foster girls that were in our home growing up just passed from it. If your mom is home and on oxygen, she is doing better than many and it might just be time that she needs to get past the lingering effects. The truth is, no one truly knows ALL of the whys and hows of why some recover and some do not. Some things change the odds but not guarantees. Love your mom every day while you have her and you won’t regret it regardless of the outcomes.

I'm sorry your mom is having to struggle due to the Covid. Anyone with lung mets knows that bronchitis, flu and now, especially covid, can take any one of us down. I pray that she will recover from her Covid and get back to treatment. Right now, she needs all the fighting blood cells so stopping treatment is necessary. I've know gals off for up to 2 months who saw no progression so I hope your mom will fair as well. Prayers with you, your mom and your family thru the Holidays and beyond.
