God bless her Swimmer. I may have sat in the chair you're in waiting for my mom. She's been battling ovarian cancer since 2009, just found out it's back again, so she's in for the hell treatments once again. Cancer F*&(*&ing sucks!!
I've been the "one in the chair" on the receiving end. Cancer does suck indeed.
I will say a prayer for your Mom Frank. BTW; I think they are very good at the D-F Center in Weymouth. Had to use them last year. She's in good hands over there.
