My mom was diagnosed at the end of October 2013. Just 2 months before that she was diagnosed with kidney and colon cancer as well, only patient recorded at Emory University to have both cancer and ALS at the same time...., anyways.... she had surgery on the 10th of December to remove the tumor in her colon, she had trouble coming off the breathing tube because of ALS, and now she is on a full time vent at home after spending 34 days in the hospital. I see she is weaker and weaker every visit I make. Dad informed me today that she keeps having these "anxiety attacks" (as one dr. called them) where she can't breathe, but come to find out they aren't "anxiety attacks" just a sign that her lungs are getting weaker and the end is in sight. Is this truly the end? I have had a sinking feeling for the last 10 or so weeks that she would pass on her birthday, which is today January 20th, but I just want to know from people who have seen the end, does this sound like it?
Thankfully she is a saved woman, and dad is constantly getting peace from Jesus, but still this is the hardest thing ANY of us in our family have ever gone through.
