Hi, please take a minute to add a signature when you can. Its a huge help for people who respond to your posts without having to ask you the same thing over and over.

Being a single mom isnt easy. Fighting cancer and doing it is rough. Im a single mom too. My children were 15 and 17 when I went thru my first round of OC. Please line up helpers and write down their names and numbers in a notebook and what they have offered to help with. There will be a time when you will need them.

If you havent already done so call the American Cancer Society, they may have things in your area to help. If the hospital offers a home health aid or visiting nurse, take advantage of it. They can be very helpful.

Best of luck and have a wonderful Mother's Day smile
