I'm sad to hear that your mother is struggling again, Heidi. It seems very unfair that anyone should have to go through such painful and uncomfortable processes. I keep harping on this in all my posts: counselling, psychological help. Is there anyone giving you and you mother that sort of assistance?

You are both in my thoughts.
Love
Maureen
