18. No. She wouldn't go there until I threatened and actually called "911".
He died less than 72 hours later.

And,...

,...that was okay with me. She still thought she had "more time",...in spite of being 'educated' about his condition. My Mom was still talking about a total fiction about brain cancer victims having a 20% survival rate. It was just,...so weird!!! His tumor came back three-fold after surgery and radiation and chemo. The "super" exploratory KILLER chemo destroyed over half his bone marrow and we had to have him hospitalized JUST TO STABILIZE him,...

I can't blame her, though. No doctor told her the truth,...that he was DYING. She was clinging to his being one of the fictional (seriously, I do NOT know where she found it) 20% who survive his brain cancer. I was celebrating his mark beyond six months!!!!!

He has no struggle, now.

As for my Mom? :shrug:
