Cancer is an awful disease!

Our Aunt Patsy (Terry's mom's sister) is in the hopital. She is receiving comfort care. It is so hard to watch her family struggle through this. I totally understand, as I went through it with my mom when she died of gall bladder cancer. I feel like a helpful resource for them sometimes because there was so much I didn't know then that I know now. It still doesn't make it any easier. I want to be strong for them, but seeing her suffer is so hard. I try to make daily visits to relieve the family if they need it. Up until tonight, Aunt Patsy participated in conversation, but tonight she seems to be in so much pain that she isn't. She has a pain medicine drip that she can push every eight minutes. So hopefully she will use it. She was resting fairly well when I left tonight, so that is comforting.
