Cervical cancer metastasized to lungs and bones(ribs). What is the the best advice you can give me?
Thats right get to a top name center Like MSK, Dana or M.D. Anderson. I know they can do cyber knife to control the cancer in the locations or ablation therapy or even proton. I also just saw Avasitin being use in cervical spread to the lungs.
But yes, you need to move fast and get her into a top name facility. This is extremely fast growth.

Should I leave my patient to a sibling as a caretaker for a week of traveling?
I agree with the others--leave your brother in charge and then go! But don't pack any GUILT around because you make that choice. GUILT is a totally stupid emotion that doesn't get help anyone or get anybody anywhere! You certainly deserve some respite after shouldering the bulk of the responsibility for over a month. You will be refreshed & actually better company for your mom, when you return. :-) PS--Remember, No GUILT!
I have lung cancer. I have a beautiful daughter caregiver. I would absolutely HATE if she cancelled vacation plans to take me to an appointment. Please go. She will be fine. Even sick moms get pleasure from seeing their kids have fun.
