Darita journey after spinal surgery

Over time since jan 2014 my cancer progressed in my spine.despite intrathecal herceptin. Mutiple infections including having my omaya remed and replaced due to staph. Short long story, progression in spine left me waist down paralyzed. Then during a transfer from wheel chair to toilet hit the chair causing a very large decub.after having it surgical debrided. I am in my 6th or 7th nursing home on hospice.They do the wound care way cheaper. I talk to oncologist next week. About treatment options when woud is totally healed. You do not see bone anymore, yeah. Need lots of prayers. Need perjeta or ont380 with TDMI? We are selling our main home in town. To move to our .2nd vacation home. Please let know of good meds.
Peace prayers
DARITA AND FAMILYĘ
