Tami,
I don't know how old your mom is but while I was going through the radiation and Chemo treatments I felt so bad I to wanted to give up. My mother literally had to roll me over to give me meds and nutrients through my tube!!!! I'm glad she did that because I was to weak to even care but she did!!! I know it is hard to see someone suffer.

I also had radiation cancelled more than a couple of times because of how I looked and felt. (After a ride of 65 min to get there to find I had to go back home) I also had chemo cancelled because they felt that I just couldn't handle it.

After treatments were over and I saw the doctors I felt so bad that I felt that they were sending me home to just die!!! It was tough and I prayed to God to help give me the strength to fight for my family's sake.

Because of this site I have hope I WILL get better. It is a terrible disease that not only robs the person affected but those around them.

Be there for your mom and try to be patient. I know my mom and I had some disagreements but I'm glad she was patient with me and kept me going.

My last radiation was in mid may and I still cannot eat even soft food. My throat is still swollen from treatment but the Dr. said that it takes time and she knows that I will be okay because she knows where I am going I just need to be patient.

Take care
Love Terry
