Karen, I'm so sorry your mom's cancer recurred so fast. It is so rough--for patients and caregivers--going through the radiation, it just seems completely unfair and wrong that the cancer can return so quickly. I'm glad she's getting the palliative care she needs and that she is with you for her remaining days.
