I feel bad asking for prayers when the world is in chaos. But, I figured maybe you'd appreciate the distraction. I have come here before asking what you would do in medical situations (certainly not asking for medical advice). I've received a lot of good insights. In 2022 my Mom was cured of cancer doing the traditional chemo and radiation treatment. Now she has a different cancer - and even with being scanned every 3 months the cervix cancer is stage 4. She's going to do the traditional chemo/radiation again. She's a good patient and does whatever the DR's say without question. I'm not going to be able to change that.

Part of the original cancer treatment involved a low dose of brain radiation. She simply is not thriving. If you felt your parent (or you) had cognitive decline what would you do?? Emotionally, this is one of the hardest things I've had to do. Watching my dear Mom fight for her life and worrying about her and seeing her almost lost at times -- more and more often.

I know you're going to tell me that chemo-radiation isn't the way to go. Believe me, I know that. But, this is her body and her fight and I need to respect that. I never want her to doubt her decision now that it has been made and just want her to feel supported. And, I want her to be ok and I am scared.

I've talked to her primary DR and she seems to think my Mom isn't sleeping well and doesn't offer solutions. I know the Alzheimer pill has a lot of problems and isn't the way to go. But, is there anything else out there?

Thank you again for sharing your insights and I always appreciate prayers!!
