Hi Elissa - nice to meet you but, unfortunately this way. Hope your Mom is hanging in there and doing okay. I would love to chat with you about her story if you don't mind or if you just need someone to chat with. I've had a hard time finding anyone with a case similar to my husband, Bob. You are definitely right that his is not an easy journey. Seems SCC can be pretty aggressive. As I am, you must have been horrified to hear your Mom's cancer was already in stage 4. Seems she was diagnosed just a month ago and you've already had to call in Hospice...is that right? That seems incredibly fast! I live in Fremont, California. My number is: 5xx-xxx-xxxx. Feel free to call anytime you want or need to chat. Brenda Smith (wife of cancer patient)
Brenda, I removed your phone number to protect your privacy. I strongly suggest you use the private message or direct e-mail instead of placing your phone number for the whole world to see. (including those pesky snake-oil peddlers)
