Thanks Amy-
My mom is only 59 and was generally quite healthy and vibrant. She went into this very optimisitic thinking she could beat the cancer and do it while she was working full time in a very high pressure job. Of couse none of us expected her to have such a horrible time with the chemo. We knew chemo was not a walk in the park but had no idea it would turn to this. I will be calling her dr tomorrow to schedule a meeting with him when I get to TX to discuss the options and see what his thoughts are. I will also listen to my Mom and will respect her wishes. Just not sure if this is the time to pep her up and try to motivate her to stay on track with the chemo or if I should let her throw in the towel on the treatment. It is such a critical decision. Thanks for your response and support.
