Last week we found out my mother had a brain tumor and that without surgery she had 6 weeks to live, with it maybe a year. She had the surgery last week and the doctor was pretty confident he got it all from the brain, but a scan has turned spots up on her stomach, kidney and chest (not the lung). It's also in the bones of her left shoulder. Everything is still pretty much up in the air still, but long term survival isn't something the doctors are talking about. I'm not naive enough to cling to a single story, but it's still nice to read. So thank you. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
