I'll be sure to say a prayer for your mother as well. Just do whatever you can to support your mother right now and be there for her.

I went through this a few years ago with my 4 year old sister. Its really tough but if you stay strong for yourself, your mother and your family that is the best thing you can do... eventually everything will be okay.

Prayers go out to your family.

I'm glad your mom's cancer is very treatable and was caught early.

I have far too much experience with nasty cancers.

My maternal grandfather died of lung cancer (attributed to smoking).

My maternal grandmother had bladder cancer (believe it or not attributed to smoking) and eventually died of complications therefrom.

They had 5 children, including my mom.

My mom's oldest sister died of the same bladder cancer (attributed to smoking).

My mom is a breast cancer survivor (not attributed to smoking). Double mastectomy.

Her next youngest brother died of a recurrence of cancer after surviving treatment for lung cancer (attributed to smoking).

Her next youngest brother has various cancers, including bone cancer (probably related to smoking).

The next and last sister so far is cancer free.

My dad's only brother is a stomach cancer survivor.

My dad is currently terminal with pancreatic cancer. He may have a year left.

Yeah, cancer sucks. And I despise tobacco.

I haven't. My sister is an oncology nurse. Since you posted, I've looked it up and I'm sending a couple of links to her for her input regarding my dad. Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest to beat.

Thanks for thinking of me and thanks for the heads up.
