7. well we found the problem

It seems that her cancer that was supposed to be in remission metacisized to the left side of her brain causing pressure and changes in speech, personality and attitudes.

She just underwent surgery to remove the largest tumor (there are/were 3) and is in intensive care til this coming Tuesday if no problem arises.

She blames it on an immune therapy called "Infimzi" Prior to going to the emergency room she researched it thoroughly and her symptoms matched 95% of the side effects. Her oncologist kept on saying that wasn't the problem so we wasted 8 treatments.
I haven't been able to digest all that's gone on in the past 2 weeks and am scared about her outcome and my ability to care for her.

thanks for keeping this thread alive
