I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I wish there was a way I could really help, but I guess the best I can do is to let you know that I am praying for you and your mom. I am sorry that you are both suffering.
sunshine, love and hugs to you both,

Tom and I join our prayers and support with the others being sent your way. You have been so generous with your caring; I hope ours will affect you in a positive way.
How fortunate you have been to know your parents as a grown woman - and how wonderful it is to know you can be there for them in their time of need. God has blessed your family and He'll not forget you.
All our best.

I am so sad to read of your mothers cancer and the fact that they cannot fix your thorax problem.
My cousin's motherin-inlaw had esaphegeal cancer at about the same age as your mother. She did not survive it, but I do not remember what the treatment was, if any. I will email him and ask. Of course every case if different so the info may may useless.
You are having an absolutely horrible year. Hopefully things will turn into sunshine and rainbows soon. Keep your chin up.
Take care,
Eileen
