Patti, You and I had talked about this topic briefly not too long ago and I stand by what I said. You've been such a beacon of strength and hope for Nick. You've been open and honest with him and demonstrated that even in the face of this beast called cancer, a person can, and you DO, live your life to its fullest and on YOUR terms, not the disease's. Of course you will second guess and question your decisions. All of us who are parents do that, it is normal. I'd be more concerned and worried about you if you did not have these thoughts and feelings! My gut instinct is that Nick has had a wonderful life thus far and that he, AND YOU will continue to do so. Nick has something in his life that many kids do not have. Parents who are there for him, with him and care, genuinely CARE about him and his future. Patti, you are an amazing lady, and I am so proud of you and how you are dealing with all of this. Keep it up and YOU GO GIRL! Love and hugs Chris xo

Max I am sorry to hear you are having SOB problems! I cannot offer any advice but wanted to say hello and send both you and Inez my best wishes! Warmly Christine

Aww Pup I've been thinking of you and hoping that things were going well So sorry to hear of all these side effects. I don't have any advice or wisdom to offer but am sending hugs and prayers Warmly Christine

Robyn As long as your Mom is stable and taking care of herself on her own, there should be no question about whether you can/should go to Florida for 4 days. Caregiving is a tough job and you need to look out for your own health and sanity as well. If you don't take care of your own needs you will not be able to care for Mom when/if she needs you. Hope this helps Warmly Christine

Hello and welcome to the board I am sorry about your mother in law's diagnosis but glad you have joined us. I cannot offer much as far as information or advice but would like to say, please do NOT listen to the statistics and prognosis you will find and hear. Those stats are numbers, averages and your mother in law is a unique person. Everyone responds to treatment differently as you will see as you read more of the stories and history on this site. There are so many postive stories and so much hope to be found here among this group. Please let us know how we can help you and we will be here for you. Warmly Christine

I am so sorry to read this. Prayers and condolences to her friends and family. Warmly Christine
