4+ years with stage IV battle ends

[KG1993]

My mother was dx in August of 2011 with stage IV Her2+ with mets to liver and bones. Treatment was given at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. We live about 6 hours from there in IL. 15 months later, mets to brain. After Whole Brain rads, and 2 gamma knifes, perjeta, herceptin, and zometa Mom decided in Oct. 2015 with little quality of life to stop treatment. She had no muscle coordination or balance left. My father was feeding her, bathing her, she was wheel chair bound. She had lost 100 lbs. On a positive note she was able to see all 3 children get married and 2 grandbabies born. Mom lost her battle on December 18th, 2015 in her home with the assistance of hospice care.
