Krista called me this morning before I got to Mom's and she received a copy of the final report from the Cleveland Clinic. It is now saying Clear Cell RCC. Although apprehensive, we are both feeling elated. Dr. Rini in Cleveland told us that the Clear Cell RCC was much more treatable than the Papillary RCC. We decide not to tell Mom and possibly get her hopes up, only to be dashed at her appointment Thursday with the local oncologist, Dr. Cole.
When I get to Mom's she is sitting at the desk crying. She is just very frustrated. She's been trying to pay bills and it has zapped her of her energy and her back is aching badly. She has diarrhea. When I ask what she'd like for breakfast she continues to cry. Nothing sounds good. She is hungry but nothing sounds good.
I mention probably a dozen things I would fix her for lunch and we finally settle on a grilled cheese sandwich. I know that if I can put something in front of her, she will eat. At least she has that going for her. I cut up some tomatoes and she eats the entire sandwich and all the tomatoes. After lunch she goes to her chair and sleeps.
I fix meat loaf, baked potatoes, asparagus and rolls for dinner and Mike and David come over. She ate her potato and asparagus and two rolls. I was so glad to see her eat, but she seems weaker than usual today.
