Cancer is horrible, and Adenocarcinoma is one of the nastiest forms of it. (I lost my best friend and another good friend to it, both of them young). I'm so sorry, DP. You are right- your mom can still hear you, although chances are it's mixed up with hallucinations. (When my mom had a very similar experience, at her worst and when we all thought she was dying and couldn't possibly understand us, she did. She later related back to us almost verbatim what we said and who was with us at the time, although she didn't realize she was in a hospital. One time she thought it was a train depot, and another a big party. Still, she did hear and understand us.) I can't think of anything to say that would be of comfort, except that you are truly a wonderful daughter and your dad is lucky to have you through all of this. Big, big hugs.
