Bill,
Thanks for responding back. I really appreciate everyones kind words. I am so glad to have found this web site. It gives me great comfort.

How are you doing? Are you a caregiver or cancer survivor?
My mother is home recovering from surgery.
But she has a long road ahead (radiation).
The unknown ahead is what scares me.
I'm just worried about her getting her nutrition while she is going through radiation. She is 70yrs old. She is in very good health. Before this all came about she was going to the ymca 4 days a weeks getting her exercise. That has paid off for her the dr. told her. That was why they decided to do the surgery before radiation.
The oncology radiologist said he wanted her to have surgery first and then radiation. I really didn't understand why. They kept saying she was a good canidate for surgery.
Take care and have a good weekend.
Michelle
