Memere in the Hospital
Last evening Memere was admitted to SunnyBrook Hospital. She's in the cancer treatment facility, and is due to start her treatments this morning. She will be staying at the hospital tonight (Sunday) and the doctors will decide on Monday what the next steps are. The problem started at dinner last evening, when she couldn't swallow properly, choking on her food. John & Cathy & Mom decided it was severe enough to call 911, which dispatched an ambulance. Memere was seen be Dr. Alqaderi(ER). The doctor determined that Memere's condition is changing quickly, with a tumor pressing on her throat and heart. Dr Taggar(radiation-therapy) and Dr Alqaderi stated that treatment to reduce the size of the tumors must start right away. The doctors administered a corticosteroid immediately and Sunday morning Memere will get a CAT scan which will be used to calculate the dosage for radiation therapy on her lungs & trachea mid-day on Sunday. Chemotherapy will also start Sunday or
