JoAnne, If you feel that your moms doctors have written her off, then write
them off! Not one situation for a cancering survivor was ever made better
by a doctor that didn't believe and try to do everything that they could. I
have been on the doctor interview circle myself and I know that you have to
have a doctor that you can put all of your faith and trust into, that they
will care for you as best as can be done.
There may not be a cure today, but there may be one tomorrow and we all must
believe that we will be one that survives the cancering journey. Attitude
and faith do play a very vital role. There is a book called "Fifty
Essential Things to Do When the Doctor Says it is Cancer" by Greg Anderson
and I truly urge you to go buy it and both you and your mom read it.
I hope you will stay a part of this forum, as I know that there are many who
will be here to help you and share with you... God Bless you and your mom,
Carla
