Jen,
I am sure you will get a lot of support and constructive advice from this forum as many of us have gone through similar battle as your mom is prepared to face now. Stay positive and stand by your mom at all times. You can see from my signature that my cancer was more advanced than your mom and after chemo-radiation, I am able to be in remission for over 5 years and have confidence that I shall enjoy many more years of good health ahead. Don't hesitate to voice your problems and ventilate here. Good luck!

Karen
