Toni,
Thank you so much for your advice and concern. I am also, so sorry to hear about your mom. Yes, it is very scary and very rough. I've seen God work miracles and hope he does for us as well.
As far as his treatments, we live in Michigan, and he goes to Dr. Danish at the Hurley/Genesys Cancer Institute. Believe it or not, his spirits are just awesome. He knows that if there is only a fraction of a chance to beat this, he will. As of Feb 7, his scans are looking as if the 6 months of chemo is working. He has been getting sick recently, though.
Good luck with your mom, I truly understand your feelings, and just remember to take care of you too.
Good luck,
Tracey
