The folks at Dana Farber are great. Your Mom is in good hands, they will find the best treatment possible.
Holly, feel free to vent, many of us have been in similiar situations, I am going thru it still with my mother's husband. OY, if you heard about our trip last Friday.

You are wise to give yourself extra time to get up there. Boston traffic is always a challenge. Though Dana Farber and MA General are very accomodating when their patients are coming from out of state, and might be delayed.
