Mandy,

I have been following this thread and Hayley's blog. I am so glad to hear the good news! She is such a brave young lady, and you are a wonderful Mother! My Dad has been going through the same thing. He is having radiation, taking chemo pills, and will begin chemo injections on Tuesday, and he will have a PEG tube put in surgically next week. Hang in there, if you need to chat, please feel free to contact me. smile
