I am so sorry about your mom. I lost my mom in November, right before Thanksgiving. She was diagnosed in Feb. 07. She had a lot of good days, and a lot of bad. We went on vacation together and had a great time. We talked every day on the phone, always said "I love you". She did chemo up until October. Do you have a Mayo Clinic near you? We went to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota every week for 10 months. We had the best doctor, very caring and passionate. She died at Hospice. I wish I could tell you she would be okay, that it will go away. I am still filled with such despair. My mom died. I can hardly type the words let alone talk about it with anyone. It is the most painful experience ever. My prayers are with you, I know what you are going thru. If you need to know what else to expect, please write to me when you are ready. I'm no doctor, just someone who knows your pain. Take care and God Bless. Karen
