Prayers Needed For My Mother, New Update Page 1.

My mother has been diagnosed with myeloma.She has to go back to the doctors next week to find out what stage, and what treatment options are available. My older brother is handling her doctors at this point, but he is going in the hospital for a hip replacement on April 8th, and will be out of action for a while.I will have to take over at that time.
My mother is 91 years old, has congestive heart failure, and is on oxygen. She only weighs 78 pounds. IMO,she needs to do alternatives, as I believe the chemo will kill her a lot sooner than the cancer.It is up to her, as to what she wants to do. She is quite competent, and can make her own choices.

I ask for prayers from you all. This horrible news is on top of other bad family news we have got today. My daughters are devastated over this.I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone.

UPDATE:

My mother went back to the oncologist yesterday. She was supposed to have tests done to see how far the cancer has spread. The oncologist has done a turnaround. He will not do any more tests, and he will not treat my mother for the cancer. She has to go back and see him in 6 weeks. He repeatedly cited her age. She WANTS to be treated, and told him that her age should have nothing to do with it all.
So, it is what it is. I am surprised at this, as they were really pushing the chemo last week, and she WAS scheduled to have the tests done yesterday.
As for alternatives or special herbal brownies,forget it. She wants the chemo. :(

Why is she afraid of death?

I am afraid of death.

My father died from cancer. He did chemo for 3 years but it never made it go away. He died at home in hospice. We were with him while he died for 3 days. He was in a coma and had seizures ever 4 hours for 3 days. On the 3rd day he died a seemingly hurtful and hard death. BUT I really don't think he was "there" for those 3 days, it was just his body dying.

Death is a hell of a thing esp. if you're witness to it, the absurdity of Life. If I was you I'd say everything that needs to be said and be a comfort to your Mommy.

Just remember that you and all those that have died will one day be reunited and that's a comforting thought.

I am not surprised they are not doing chemo as they probably found out insurance company would not pay. I think you are right, the chemo would be way to harmful in many ways at her age. Have you looked up the baking soda therapy on youtube? I lost my dad last year to cancer, he wanted chemo all the way up to the end, but they wouldn't give it to him either at a certain point, I really tried hard to get him to do the baking soda thing, but he wouldn't have it. May G-d bless you, your mom and your whole family through this difficult time.

Why is she afraid of death?

Prayers and the best of luck to ya!

Regarding your update:
That is NOT fair. She has the right to decide what SHE wants to do. If she really wants to do treatment, and that Oncologist won't do it, go to another one. I think it's outrageous that he's playing god.
Prayers! The LORD bless you both.

Fear of my soul scattering into a billion pieces never to be formed again.

Prayers to your mom and to you and yours.

Medicaid is currently following the obamacare panel criteria dictating who should receive extended care, and who should be written off, and this is deplorable. This brings into consideration alternative treatments when the obamacare system fails our seniors and others one should research alternative treatments.

Perhaps you should do some research into Artemisinin, Curcumin/Turmeric and Black Seed Cumin: Nigella Sativa to name a few for self-help when the government wipes their hands of needy citizens due to cost restraints.
