Oh girl. I'm so so sorry. Must have been very dissapointing news to hear. Well. another member here's wife was on Chemo for almost a year an a half and she handled it well. They did some travelling and she was in pretty good health and spirits for awhile. Its all very individual how people's bodies react.... sometimes it can help with shrinking the tumors so she might have less pain. Yes there are certainly side effects to deal with but she could try it and see how she reacts to it.

I'm sure this has all just been a lot to comprehend and deal with on so many levels.. My heart goes out to you Emily. I can only imagine how incredibly difficult this is. My mom had cancer too and it was just very hard... the whole experience all around. I wish there was something that could be done to make things different and to cure her for good. Its just awful to see the person you love so much go through something like this. Well hopefully they can get her symptoms and side effects from this under control soon and her pain under control so she's not uncomfortable.

I know this is an terrible time but maybe somehow during this ordeal you can find some meaningful moments with your mom. Just try and be as positive as you can.Try and relax and just be there for your mom as her treatment continues. You have precious cargo aboard now I wish I had more words of comfort and wish that things could be different.
Sending you guys love.... You mom sounds like a wonderful person.
