thanks for sharing and I am sending not only ultra positive vibes your Mom's way but also prayers. With the sudden influx of youngsters on this board, it's easy to forget how this cancer skewed old traditionally. I hope I make it to 76, let alone be as strong and vibrant as your Mom sounds,
Echoing David's question: how can she be getting a major second round of radiation? I was told that if they did not have the CyberKnife for my second go round this time they would not have been able to re-radiate me since I already had "maximum" of 72 Grays (7200 rads). Still glad to hear her condition is treatable.
