She would work all night and then take me to the doctor. She would fall asleep in the waiting room. Then she would drive me home and that was the last I would see of her for the day. The boys, I never saw. I look at it like this. It is much easier to deal with Mom having cancer when you don't have to deal with what cancer does to Mom. Kinda, out of sight, out of mind. The only one that really delt with it was the 15 year old. Oddly enough, she's grown up, the others seem to have regressed. Amy
