The day after I got back from my vacation, I hear that a friend of the family was in the hospital, and had cancer in the breathing tubes. She was getting her last rights and didn't think she would make it another couple days. It started a week before that, with some wheezing and trouble breathing. The doctor looked her over and didn't really see anything to worry about. He said to come back later, and when she did, two days later she is in the hospital. Then you hear it just closed off and she cannot breathe. She had a living will in place, and a DNR so if it went that way, you know how it would end. I couldn't believe how fast it went! At least I did get to visit her Monday, she was sedated and then the doctors thought they could treat it. We had hope on Monday. They were then going to biopsy the polyps of cancer in her throat, then diagnose the treatment. Next day they go to get more of them out and they can't get in there at all. Apparently its growing so fast in there and they can't believe it. She told them while awake,that she wanted the tube out. Once the tube was out, she only lasted about 2 hours. She passed away today this afternoon.
