Welcome to OCF! Glad you have found this resource to help get your family thru everything. OCF is full of correct info and support.

The very best treatment centers in the US are called comprehensive care centers (CCC). Here is a list which can help you to decide where your mother will be treated.

Right now try to encourage your mother to eat all she can. Its important to get all her favorites now as her sense of taste will change for a while.

Best wishes!
