Journal entry by Tracey Block —
The last 48 hours have been filled with pain. We keep adjusting to meet her need but it seems to work for a while but then more acute pain comes that exceeds the meds:(
Her nurses have been awesome and caring.
Tracey is having some thoughts of not doing chemo. Such a hard decision for her. She wants the hope that chemo offers but the then again she is getting tired of fighting and pain. It is a roller coaster ride.
Tracey now has Aciteses in her belly. This has made her belly grow and become hard.
Cancer is ugly and certainly not kind.
We said we would try to find positives every day.... well she got to share time with Ryan and Wally and Lamonte today. We are learning how precious time is....it’s a gift u can’t buy.
Oh and she pooped. I know that isn’t exciting to most people but anyone who has been in pain pills knows what we are talking about! So another positive.
