Well I just spoke to my mom about an hour ago. She sounded good but you can tell she is not herself (I meant physicaly)

She talked to her oncologist and got her results. The cancer she has in her lower body seems to be shrinking as they hoped it would. But unfortunatly for her brain the cancer has gotten worse. Her tumors have not shrunk and they found a few more sigh

They did discuss one type of treatment she could have had but it would have only made her much more sick than her last treatments and they basicaly told her there was no point to it. She still had the option of going for it but she has refused. She said she has learned to accept her illness and now just wants to be able to live a bit pain free etc..It was hard for me to digest that she has sort of given up but I do also understand her decision as she is the one who is suffering and going through this. She knows herself much more than anyone else.

So that is the news. I feel sad but there is not much we can do now. Just focus on spending the most positive time with her and pray.

Thanks everyone for your flowers, messages and replies to my posts regarding her. It truly means a lot to me and I greatly appreciate it and my mom also sends her thanks for the support. It made her happy to know I am not alone to deal with this.

Good luck to your mom. I have been in her position and totally understand. I have been through the treatments and can say I wouldn't view it as a giving up sort of thing. I don't know that I would endure the treatments again if I knew what was going to happen. Best of luck though

Tracy, know that you and your mom are hugged as best as cyber-space allows. I would choose as she has, given the same circumstances. Just be there for her.
Much love,
