Zahra:

Welcome to OCF. Hope you will find all the help and support you as a caregiver need. There is alot of info both on the main site and also here on the forum. There is a search function available on both areas too.

Im sorry to hear that your mother may be a victim of not just cancer but possibly doctors too. One positive thought, you still have your mom, she has survived a very deadly form of cancer. As you will see, there are many survivors and many stories here that will help you to understand what your mom is going thru.

I know you are scared, but do know that you will have lots of support from people who have gone thru this both as patients and caregivers. This group understands your fears and will try to assist you with answers to questions and moral support.
