GAILERENEE Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi,My mom has been off chemo now for about 3 months.  She is actually feeling better than when she was on.  She has not developed any new symptoms other than she naps a lot during the day.  She is stage 4 with mets to brain and adreanals.  That is all I can tell you.  Passcon93 Wed, 14 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
