Thanks everyone. I'll let you know if my brother makes any progress on Mom's behalf.
Joe...thank you very much for your offer. Unfortunately, we're not strangers to the ravages and stresses of cancer. My husband is a survivor as well, and my Mom's sister died of cancer. Just a few, short years ago, I lived a life untouched by cancer....now it seems everywhere. Scarey sometimes....but at least the treatments for it are becoming more and more successful with each passing year. I'm now a volunteer with Team In Training, which is a fundraising organization for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
