Update

For those of you watching this space, I'm sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Its been a little strange, partly because there hasn't been a lot to report, and part because the disease has progressed substantially and I want to spare mom's dignity the details.

She has lost a tremendous amount of weight and her nausea has been awful. Mentally and spiritually she is prepared to go and has become pretty detached, even with those closest to her.

The days are very long for her, and unfortunately there isn't much that can be done for her to alleviate that. We're all praying for a very quick end now, and would ask you to do the same. Mom is a fighter, always has been, and while her spirit is willing, her body is still fighting.

Continued prayers are very welcome. When the end has come, we'll let you know.
