Latest news.
Star is currently in a hospital room in Lake Charles pending an open bed at the hospital in New Orleans.
Star's boyfriend Mike came to Houston this morning to pick up his parents from Bush Intercontinental. It just so happens that I live merely five miles from Bush, so he stopped in and we had breakfast at IHOP. He brought all the doctor's notes he had to let me read and translate them.
After reading all the lab reports and the doctors' notes, I've pretty much determined that it's no longer a matter of if Star will die, but a matter of when.
When they did the mastectomy last month, they removed 15 lymph nodes that may have been affected by the cancer. According to the biopsy report I read, all 15 of those nodes were cancerous. The doctors are also convinced that there are more cancerous lesions on her bones than what have been found. She'll be getting a full bone scan when she gets to N.O.
I'm now in the process of preparing the family for the inevitable, including preparing the final arrangements.
