jbentonwolfe, that is one long name, welcome to our group, I personally have not had the cancer your monther has had, however I am sure that someone on here has. Chemo/radaition is about the same tho. It is ruff on some, others have very little probelms with it. All I can tell you is to be with your mother, she will need you. Get all the info you can so you can help her and you won't be left out. My daughter has gone with me to appts. so she can ask her own questions this is fine with me. We will all pray for you and your mother. Always, Vicki Lynn
