Josh,

So sorry to hear about your mom. It's always devastating to hear this news. Our situation is just the opposite. I am the caregiver to my daugher who is only 34 now and is healing from her second occurance and I am praying every day that we get through this. She also never smoked and rarely drinks but somehow this disease has no mercy or conscience it just strikes. So we have to strike back with everything that within our grasp for knowledge and the help of others who have gone through it or going through it. Keep up the good fight.

I will be praying for you and your mom as you continue your fight and God bless.

Bonnie
