LBurke6475 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Your story just made my day. My mom was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and she is in the midst of chemo. Is is shaking my whole entire lfe upside down. Your niece's face is beautiful and reminded me of my son's happiness around his mom-mom. I hope we can find something that works for her. The mass is inoperable. ANy links or resources or anything you can recommend to me in order to feel like I am doing something to save her life?
