Just as the title says, my mama was recently diagnosed, after almost a year of testing.
She suffered two minor strokes in 2022 and started having issues with her throat/voice, doctors could not figure it out. Within months her voice was completely gone. She traveled abroad for other opinions. We were finally referred to Columbia and the doctors there diagnosed her immediately, further testing ensued just to confirm the diagnosis.
She's a trooper. My hero.
She just had a G-Tube inserted this past week, to help her regain some weight.
I'm not going to lie... I'm scared, I'm not ready for any of this.
I'm afraid of losing my mom, my daughter losing her gramma.
How do you all cope?
