Thank you so much to all of the positive responses! It does make me feel better to read so many inspirational personal stories. Thank You!
I actually got some better news today. It is still inoperable, but we found out that there is a small chance that it might be completely curable with a chemo/radiation combination. However, my mom is having a PET scan next week, to make sure that the stage three diagnoses, isn't really a stage four. On a whole, it was the most positive doctor's appointment that we have gone to. She is starting Chemo next week and we really like the doctors/nurses and hospital. Things are looking a little bit up for now!
Thank you again for listening to me.
