My mother was getting better for a while but she deteriorated badly at the end, likely due to cancer not being treated due to inability to do hip rehab. It has been a tough few weeks, a tough few months and a tough 2020. I am doing OK, all considered. It's a lot of upheaval.

So sorry! Thank God you have your dad and Ash to be there for you. I am glad you have a good support system. Try to be okay because stress can make pouchitis worse, from what I hear anyway. I would hate for your pouchitis to get worse considering everything you have been through.

I have heard of doctors stopping cancer treatments before due to the body being too fragile for therapy. I am not sure which is worse, giving treatment in a fragile state or letting the cancer take over. I guess the end result is the same.

At least your mom is in a happier place. From everything you told me about her, she sounds like an amazing woman, wife, and a very good mother.
