keeping her at our house. The Dr didn't want to do chemo at her age but they did do radiation to hopefully shrink it. I think that I knew it realistically it would probably help a little but not really buy her any more time. And it didn't. I don't remember exactly but I don't think she lasted much longer than a month.
Have they done any recent scans on your mom?
Oh wow it would terrify me to know that she is driving, not only for her safety but for others as well. My mom threw a fit when we tried to stop her from driving! But thank goodness when she had to go back to renew her license she didn't pass the eye exam so she knew that she couldn't drive any more . She's 87 now but this was just several yrs ago.
