Hi Nancy,
Welcome to OCF. You are right, attitude is such a huge part of healing. It sounds like your mom already has that under control. I'm happy that you found us here. EzJim put it best...welcome to our home. You are welcomed with open arms and ask as many questions as you can think of. The people here have so much knowledge. I will keep you in my thoughts...please let us know what happens with the test.
Suzanne
