Tabatha Is Terminal

[Sherryg683]

It is an awful lot for one family to bare. When my brother was diagnosed with advanced melanoma one month before my stage IV diagnoses, we were all in shock. It was killing my mother,two of her children had been told the worse news possible back to back. My brother died 2 years later. He told me that he had prayed to God not to take us both, that it would kill mother. In a way I feel that might have been my brothers gift to me because I'm still here and NED. What treatments have they given your niece and why will they not try something else...sherry

Sherry,Yes it is a lot for one family to bare,We are all hurting,I am trying to get my sister to take Tabatha to another Onc. (apparantly she has faith that the Dr. is correct) I can't keep from thinking that there is something else out there for her,she now has a couple of hard lumps,one on top of her head,the other on her back on side.she had two weeks of radiation on spine & sternum,I think the onc. maybe thinking since she is already compromised w/ (cerebral Palsy & stageIV)that it w/be too much for her????? I am frustrated,I do not have much say in the matter,I just know that I am not ready to give up on her yet,I truly hope there is a miracle,prayer is all we have,Thanks to everyone who commented,I appreciate any response,Joanna
