It sounds like you and your mother have a great attitude, so keep it up.
Here are some websites you might find helpful.

My husband just completed 4 months of chemo and his last CT scan showed everything is shrinking and decresing in size. He's handling his treatments like a champ. We give credit to his diet, supplements, vitamins, herbs and of course positive attitude.
He drinks only distilled water, green & white tea.
Also the tea from Jason Winters website. You will find information on the herb you had questions about on that website.
A great book he wrote "Killing Cancer" is a great read. Another book is "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" By Patrick Quillin.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck and God bless you and your family.
