Oh Cynthia! I am just so very sad at this news. At the same time I applaud your efforts and very smart actions. Your mother could not have a better advocate. Many years ago I played that role for my mother for a different cancer, and can report that pitching an intelligent fit should get good answers, or you take your questions elsewhere. From my view point, you are doing everything right in very difficult circumstances. Please know you have friends here who have "been there, done that" and we understand. Vent anytime.
