Mom's Humerus bone got fractured

Update posted by Jake Robert Jacinto

Just when we thought things are getting better this happens. My mom has slowly regained her strength and has gained weight through these past few weeks.

But last night, at 6 in the evening, while my dad was blending some vegetable and fruits for my Mom, and while I was in my room resting. My mom shrieked out suddenly from sudden unimaginable pain. My dad rushed upstairs and I got up to check what happened to her.

To our horror, she said she felt something snap on her bone while she was opening a closed mayonnaise jar (An act she usually does herself as she has gotten used to doing some things for herself now due to her regained strength). At first we thought it might be just a dislocated bone or something, how can opening a mayonnaise jar break one's bone.

So we rushed her to the hospital, and after some tests the doctors reported that her humerus bone snapped in two. It must be because of the bone metastases that have made her bones brittle all over. We will be having some more tests and x-rays next week and another check-up as to what we can do to heal the broken arm back.

These are her X-rays:

This is her in a cast now:

I do hope everything gets better from here on out. And as always, I thank each and everyone of you who has donated thus far!
