Paula, love that you have come back. I didn't join until after my mom had passed, so I missed out on all the amazing support and information during a time when I really could have used it. But it is so important to be in the company of people that do truly understand what you're feeling... the entire process from learning of the diagnosis, going through the horrible surgeries and treatments, and also in the last days into mourning. Even though I am still new and trying to help where I can, I take great comfort in knowing others have been where I have and am today. Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts. I hope to see you on here again soon!
