So glad to hear the good news about your mom and I only hope its get better and better! You know, I feel bad that you're family was told that your mom had a certain amount of time left. The shock and depression ya'll must have experienced. My sister had stage 4 cancer of tonsill 2 yrears ago and today is doing great-although there were very rough spots along the way. The one thing I learned out of our experience with cancer is that the doctors know alot about cancer, but not enough. Your mom's 1st doctor did all he knew to do, luckliy there was another that knew more.
