SignUp Now!She was perfectly healthy and got checked for skin cancer twice a year having grown up in Key West in the 50’s before the bridge was built, and spending the last decade on the Texas Gulf coast.
Her last check up was in January and came back all clear. In February a lump was detected in her arm that was determined to be breast cancer that had spread to the lymph nodes. Afterwards it moved to her bones and spine. 2 months ago she was put into ICU at MD Anderson and 2 weeks later a nursing home in Rockport (TX). After that she went home and was there for 2 weeks before Saturday night when she died.
Apparently the cancer or the chemo (doctors weren’t sure which one) caused dementia to set in. The doctor in Rockport said up until 2 years ago he had only heard of this happening, but now has seen it several times in the small town where my parents live.
The last weeks of her life were spent in a daze not knowing who anyone was or where she was. She lost 30 pounds, and looked like she was 89 instead of 69 and died weighting around 80 pounds.
Sure maybe she got the cancer from her genes because supposedly her grand mother died of breast cancer, maybe she was just unlucky, or maybe it was the second jab her and my father got.
