Help me understand my Mom
By
CaitlinNicole
August 18 2011 I took my Mom to the emergancy room after a week of her falling asleep all the time and having blurred double vision. They did many tests on my Mom and after bringing her to the ICU they told me she has a brain tumor on the lower right side of her brain. My Mom has been in the hospital since then and has a biopsey and several CT scans and MRI's. They told us it was lymphoma and they needed to agressivly treat her with steroids and chemo. In the past week my Mom refuses to see any family and thinks my Dad is going to kill her. She yells at family and friends for calling her or trying to see her and acts like we did something wrong or she doesn't know us. She has since then removed me and my brother from being her power of attorney and now the nurses will not give us any information. My Mom doesn't even know who she is anymore and I can't believe they are going to listen to her. I feel like my Mom is slowing dying and I'm only 22 and I still need her and know one will help me. Please help!! Also I forgot to mention she has had to be put on a pacemaker and have a port in her chest for chemo.
