Today when my mom was getting up she noticed her tumor was bigger on the left side. It has only been growing big on the right side up until now. She asked me if I thought it was now growing on the left side and I said yes. Then she pointed to her right side where the tumor is bulging out of her neck and said, "Isn't this going to go away?" I had to say, "No mom, your tumor will continue to grow until you pass away. The steroid we put you on was only to help relieve your symptoms and give you more energy, not cure you. Here in lies the very hard part of caregiving, being loving and honest at the same time even though some confusion has set in. Pray for me!!
