Thank you all so much, it is so nice to have someone to talk to about this besides my mom. I try to treat her the same way i always have and not dwell on her illness and be strong for her. She had her treatments st Arnold Palmer in greensburg after a consult at hillman. This treatment will be at the hillman at Shadyside not sure when they will begin. We wanted to have a peg tube in for the last treatment but her surgeon was so against them and there was a few weeks after the rad. was over that she didnt eat anything. That was when she really started to loose the weight. I am Hopeful that this treatment works and always try to look on the bright side. Thank you all!!!!
