After a wk of many tests, my Mom a young 75 was dx at stage 4. She believes in alternative med however drs push on chemo treatments. At present, she is off oxygen (was a smoker for 60 years) and looks fine. She is shopping for a wig in preparation for chemo. The drs are not very specific with their info and we continue to seek answers. She has always put everyone else first esp us kids and now we must focus on HER well being. We have always been poor in material things but gratefully enjoy a very close family. A wide variety of experiences with chemo cause us to question the benefits of this treatment and we continue to seek other options or some in conjunction with chemo. We live in Mass. but welcome any advice and referrals. We are praying for a miracle and I will include each of you in my prayers and thank God for each day that we all can experience together. God bless.
