Went back to the doctor for the awful truth; mom's cancer has spread into her lymph nodes and her chest wall. On first glance you wouldn't notice, other than fatigue, mom shows no sign of illness. Her color is off and she is losing weight. We are going to enter her in to hospice, luckily she can stay where she is. No one wants to give me anything specific but i did get her nurse to say she would be lucky to be around in six months. I had to make calls and tell so many people the same thing today, each time harder than the last. We all knew this was coming, i'd just hoped that for once she'd have the good luck to have her heart stop in the middle of the night - because that's what counts for good luck these days.
On a lighter note, if you remember the white skunk i saw a few years ago https://joebanks.dreamwidth.org/395113.html#comments ? I almost got a..greeting from a descendant of it. I came home from work on my bicycle tonight and there was a 3/4 white skunk by the road who pointed it's white tale at me.
