Sorry to hear
I assume she had small cell lung cancer
One thing about lung cancer it’s really not hereditary. It’s from the environment.
My grandmother died of pancreatic cancer in 81. Her sister a few years later
One thing I learned is there is a gene and it wasn’t passed onto my mom
My mom ended up with breast cancer back in 2016. It was found very early thru 3d scanning. It was very small. She beat it
Just recently my mom died of small cell lung cancer. Most times once diagnosed it’s too late. She died 2 weeks after being diagnosed
Feb 9 she has my son. Took him to Union Station
Feb 10 went to my sons basketball game then dinner. She fell going down the stairs outside of Red Robin. She was ok. Just slipped.
Feb 14. She watched my son so my wife and I can go out.
Feb 15. She texted she had Covid.
Between the 15th and 21st went to urgent care
Aldo sent out sone confusing texts. Felt dizzy
Feb 21. Went to er. Thought her BP was high. They told her to relax and not take her BP that much. No chest X-ray. No bloodwork
Feb 23. Went to a diff ER. Sane symptoms. Her sodium level was 109. That’s a very critical level. Most often people are in a coma not conscious. They said it might be a sign of cancer They felt it was coming down gradually due to her being alert
Previous to this she had her wellness visit in October. Everything was good
She was in the hospital about 10 days trying to get her sodium up. She was slurring her words at time and talking nonsense. They thought she might have been having a stroke and tias. Nothing. They thought she had pneumonia as well. Chest rays. Scans. Did not find anything. Except 2 nodules on her skull.
Got out of the hospital. Was suppose to see her oncologist that week but ended up back in the hospital.
Match7-8? Went back to er. Had fluid in Her lungs. Low sodium as well.
Was told it’s csncer. But non small cell The better kind. She ended up staying til
