Thanks for your reply and reassurance you are right we need to stay positive! Its such a frustrating time when nobody is really sure what will happen next, also because nobody (doctors!) has said what will happen after her 6 sessions of chemo. Its worrying to think there mightn't be any thing eles and we' re all terrified of asking in case they say 'just go home', which is what she got told when intially diagnosed.
Its really encouraging to hear about your mother though and I hope shes doing well!
