jessica,
Don't listen to the statistics they are numbers. Take each day and embrace it with your mother. My MIL has SCLC and husband is an only child and afraid but, she is fighting. It is ok to be scared and afraid.
((((((MOM))))))I am so glad that you have finally posted on here. I love this place there is alot of great information and alot of people with the same thing you have that are fighting just like you. Robert and I are so proud of you....

well, i have a shabby chic room in my house that i did just for me and i will curl up with a good book and read and lay in there and go off to dream land in the room that is all my own. I am surrounded by pictures of my family who are older or have passed and they are looking over me.
i am not sure about the insurance payment stuff i but the local lions club and or the masons sometimes will build or donate a ramp or lift to people in need. They gave my cousin 1500.00 for aunt so that he could build her a ramp for her house. those are just suggestions.
My mom and i watch "gone with the wind" when we are sick or having a girls day at her house
my mohter has a room in her house that is nothing but gwtw collectiables.
