I am so sorry to hear that your mom has to battle this beast again. I cannot tell you how much your mom has been an inspiration to me, her courage, strength and wisdom will get her through. I am sure of that. There were times when her encouragement and support were unsurpassed. She is the best, she is the coolest.
