I’ve waited for her to be okay but i knew i had to let her go. The last three days of her was hard because the doctors said we should be prepared but there is no way that anyone can be prepared for something like this. She was like in a sort of a coma, even when she opened her eyes she couldn’t talk and her doctors said she couldn’t recognize us.
She wasn’t be able to breath on her own anymore and they were feeding her through serums. She didn’t wake up for 4 days straight, when she first got there. She was in intensive care unit for 18 days. But it kept getting worse, she got hospitalized because there were infection in her body. She had a pulmonary embolism which caused by her first surgery, it didn’t go away with medicine so she was hardly breathing, she was using oxygen tube when needed. I knew that she wasn’t in any pain because her doctors said the dosage of the pain killers and morphine she’s been on have made impossible to feel any pain for her. I must tell you that it was so hard for me to see her like that. She was just laying in bed all day and night, screaming for no reason. She was constantly screaming, she had turned into a baby, she couldn’t do anything on her own she was basically paralyzed. And she started not to recognize her own family members, she couldn’t even recognize me. She was just able to say the simple words like yes and no but nothing more. Slowly, she lost her ability to swallow food, drinking water, and then, talking followed them. She had her second, and last surgery on 13th February 2018, but she kept getting worse after that. But there were nothing else for us to save her, we were just waiting for the worse.Īnd it happened, the tumor was bleeding inside again, and it kept spreading. So she couldn’t get any treatments but her medicine for her epileptic attacks. But she survived after the surgery, but her body was refusing the chemo and radiotherapy because there were already a massive edema in her brain, radiotherapy caused more. If they would be too late to notice, they wouldn’t be able to rescue her. She had her first surgery on 13th February 2017, because the tumor was bleeding inside. Physical therapy wasn’t helping because the tumor was strong. First, she lost the ability of using her right side, she wasn’t able to use both her right arm and leg. But the tumor was aggressive and it spread so fast.
She hadn’t agreed to less, she really wanted to beat the cancer. She had fought with the cancer so hard, she actually lived for 18 months. I lost her o month ago, on 19th April 2018. But unfortunately, the doctors were right. I always hoped for the best, thought she would be okay and we still had years together. The surgery would maybe add one or two months but no more, they told us there is no cure for that type of tumor and the result wouldn’t change. Chemo, radiotherapy and even surgery wouldn’t be a cure for her, they said they would only make her given time more comfortable. Her doctors told us she had 9-18 months to live. My mother was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme stage IV on November 2016.
