There are many on here (Christineb for one) that have had multiple recurrances and are still in the fight. In Christine's case there were literally no "breaks" between recurrances.

As I've said on these forums many many times (and many agree with me) that the caregiver's role is the hardest job on the planet. With that being said, make sure you are taking care of yourself as well as your mom.

Best wishes, my heart goes out to you and your mom.
