My SIL has colon CA. She has been vomiting for the last 2 days. I guess today she started vomiting feces. I have a problem. My final is Monday. She is determined to make it through Christmas.
I know you can't tell me if SHE will last that long, but how long have pts. lasted who started doing this?
I realize this is a critical situation and I need to be there for my husband. Today is the 14th aniversary of his father's death from CA.
They live almost 300 miles away, and I just gave &275.00 to my new landlord as surety for a new place to live. My husband wants to be there for his brother. I want to be there for my husband.
I'm sorry this is rambling but I don't know what to do.

UPDATE
She died on my youngest son's 10th birthday. She made it through the holidays, just like I told my husband she would. The furneral was today. I chose not to go because school starts for me, tomorrow and our children are in school already.
I think she would get a kick out of our weather. STATE WIDE. In the Northern part of Indiana,where she is from, there are 8 inches of snow on the ground. In the middle part of the State there is about 3/4 inch of ice and in the Southern part of the state, where we live, there is a MAJOR flood going on.
Sorry to read about your SIL's death. I am glad she got her desire to see the holidays. May the good Lord bless you and your family in this difficult time.

My boyfriend's father had pulmonary fibrosis - he thought he'd be around for another 5 days or so, and he was right.
