my Tammy

Tammy has cancer. Everywhere. She has only been ill since March 29. Today we discussed -- over the phone because quarantine -- how to treat her final days. They have not been able to identify the type of cancer, and the way it is running through her, IF they do get the chance, it will most likely be too late for any effective treatment. Practically, it probably already is too late. She has cancer in her spine, her pelvis, her thyroid -- she can no longer swallow --and in her lungs and her liver. She is starting a pneumonia which is probably from aspirating something. She is hallucinating and not always all there mentally. She is currently in Clermont hospital for the pneumonia. The plan is once that is taken care of, she will come home. I can only hope it happens, because they are still allowing no visitors and oh my god we dont want her to die alone.
