Fatigue is a normal part of the treatment process as is depression. I know of two people who let the deprression get the better of them. Your Mom is 9 years older than I, but she can fight this thing. It sounds like you are probably in good hands. Daily radiation with weekly chemo took care of me. I'm only 8 months out, but I'm sure your Mom can handle the treatment with your support.
