MIL Going Down Hill
Steve's mom has been feeling very dizzy, so her doctor scheduled a cat scan. Since she was first diagnosed with terminal cancer a year ago, they predicted it would end up in her brain. Yesterday, we found out it has. She has 2 tumors there. Unfortunately, this diagnosis congers up images of my father at Thanksgiving. He became so old looking in the 6 months he had brain cancer. He was also horribly thin and unable to speak, hold his head up, or really be any glimmer of himself. I know Steve keeps picturing him in the hospital bed and worries about his mother's fate. She has scheduled a consultation to discuss her options. I am hoping it doesn't lead to meaningless surgeries like it did with my dad. Life in the hospital is not life, but the person going through it has to decide.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
