I am so sorry, I have been there with both my Mom and Dad and know the scare, heartache and pain. It is wonderful you can go home to be with your Mom in her time of need for support to temporarily help out. Thankfully, I'm blessed my Mom is a 12 yr BC survivor. I pray your Mom has the good fortune to beat this and send positive thoughts and prayers from MD. ((hugs))Godspeed ^i^.
