| 7. My sister-in-law survived for seven weeks after her tube was pulled |
|
She had end stage cancer and the tube was pulled actually to prolong her life because the feeding was causing accelerated breakdown of her organs.
She did occasionally have a small spoonful of yogurt, once every few days, but really she was more determined to survive because she was leaving behind a beautiful baby girl.
The human spirit is an amazing thing. She survived 10 months longer than the doctors thought she would. This from the medical professionals at Sloan-Kettering, a renowned cancer hospital.
