She's doing well - chemo's hard on her, but you know what a fighter she is. I have no doubt she'll get through this with flying colors!

Xena, my mom just got through with the whole shebang 3 months ago. She had a pretty rough time (chemo and radiation) but the good news is that 3 months out, her hair is back, her fatigue is gone, and she says she feels almost as good as new (still has a nap in the afternoon.)

The thing that may be of interest to you is that we went through all this stuff 10 years ago with my dad (who is still cancer free), and the advances they have made both in effectiveness and patient comfort are unbelievable.

So be of good cheer, this thing CAN be beat, and your mom WILL do fine.
