My Mom will have her last WBR on Monday. I've posted before,but today I'm feeling very confused.Unlike many of the posts I've read,she is symptomatic,only not with what I've read are typical synptoms. She is like someone with early dementia. Its all cognitive stuff. That appears to have stabilized,but it hasn't gotten any better. The biggest problem that unless you physically prompt her,she will not move. You can tell her about 50 times and she says,"Ok",but just sits there. She wets herself and just doesn't seem to care. She just doesn't want anyone to bother her. My confusion is in regards to how much of the lack of cognition is the disease and how much is this a side effect of the WBR? Can she recover from this if the tumors shrink,or is this what is to be expected forever? This is doubly hard for me as my father died from dementia and although these are 2 seperate diseases,watching someone go from a perfectly functioning adult,to a very childlike condition is gut wrenching.
Sorry to be so down,but I can't seem to find any info on people who have had any of these symptoms and then recover.
