On May 7th 2015, mom had a very bad fall at home. I called 911 and mom was taken to UCI hospital in Orange County. After several test(s) were done, I was told mom needed to be transferred from ER to a room. Couple days later after doctor’s reviewed all test(s), mom was diagnosed with brain cancer.
I was in shock after hearing the news and I had to relay the message to my family including Dad. Mom was never diagnosed with brain cancer nor was she ever told she might have brain cancer.
After family had a meeting with doctor’s, mom was discharged under hospice care. Sanctuary hospice which is the company I work for now cared for my mom until she passed away on May 30th, 2015. I truly miss mom but i will say this, she passed away with no pain. On Nov 12th, i will walk for mom and ask co-workers, family and friends to join my team.
God bless and I Love You MOM!
