Thanks for your post, Steph and for sharing your mom's and aunt's experiences. (I actually had to chuckle about your aunt chasing her 3rd-graders.) After hearing their stories and treatment successes, and those of others as well on this site, I am encouraged. I generally do pretty well but every now and then hopelessness sets in (but never around mom!). And, yes, I am so very grateful to be so close to her. Now onward to my homework... I'm trying to learn as much as I can (although sometimes it makes my head spin). I wish the very best for you all and hope to hear more continued successes.
Best,
Karen
