Wow! I could have wrote that same message! Only it is my sister, not my mom. She was diagnosed in November, was going to have surgery, but when they went in found the same thing, seeding to her peritneum, lymph nodes. They sent her home to do chemo. She did not have radiation. The chemo made her very, very, sick. She was hospitalized twice. But...at her last PET scan and endoscopy there was no evidence of cancer. They told her not to come back til mid November. Even if it comes back, she has been given a gift, just like your mother. It is so nice because she is feeling better and starting to enjoy life again. Best of luck to you at Rochester. That is where my sister was diagnosed.
