Hi Barb, Thank you for responding to my message, it's nice to hear from you. For the last week or so, I've been posting messages on this board and the Breast Cancer Stage IV message board, looking for hope and answers. I know that everything relies on God, good spirit and high hopes. We just found out yesterday that she's only expected to live 3-6 months due to the cancer spreading and where it's at (liver, lymph nodes, intestine, bones). Her Oncologist wasn't the one that told us. We found out this information from my older sister's, sister in law and husband who are both Surgeons in Ft. Worth, Tx. I can't even begin to imagine my mother not being here. This is something that I of course along with everyone else, didn't think could happen to me and my family. Although we know that this is the outcome of the prognosis...my mother is still not giving up and neither are we. I believe that Surgeons and Dr.'s can do so much, but God is the final one that can make that decision. We leave to CTCA, Tulsa OK, in 3 days and my mom is anxious to go..we'll fly back to Dallas, on Monday. I'll let you know how the experience was..If my mom decides to stay and get treatment, there or just come home and continue here in Dallas. Please keep in touch, I'd like to know how you're doing. Take care, and you're going to beat this cancer just like my mom is :-)! Faith in God..God bless you and your family!
