I would suggest going to a naturalpath who will be able to work with her on which supplements she should take, and also what her diet should be. They can help a lot. I personally would never go through chemo after seeing how it brought down my Dad, a 55 yr old strong, otherwise healthy man. I cant imagine what it would do to an 88 year old woman. That's just my opinion. I am sorry to hear about your mom, god bless you and your family, I hope for the best for you.
