i cant lie and say well i fought cancer, because i've never had to face that struggle, however i know a couple of people who have fought cancer, and have won...
my best friends aunt, breast cancer, she fought she won...
moms friend sue, forget where she had the cancer, long time in chemo, she kept faith and kept fighting, she won!
moms other friend, again not sure where the cancer was, but she fought for 2 years, now shes more beautifull and healthyer than ever, you would have never guessed...
Now im not a doctor, i dont have that kind of college money, but the advice i can give you and your mother, is laugh... have a good time, dont let your mother sit around and feel bad for herself, both of you need to be strong and keep faith in the FACT that many people have fought cancer and beat it, and surely your mom can to....
i hope for the best for both of you...
