Hi Andre! You did not mention the type cancer nor the
stage of your mother's cancer. Welcome to our wonderful forum, I think you
found your home away from home. You mentioned that your mother is
depressed. Is she on a medication for depression. Often depression
goes hand and hand with cancer; so you should talk to her doctor about
this. I understand what you are going through to try and provide the very
best care for your mother. Once you let me know the type cancer, her
treatments, and the stage, I will be able to send you more information to help
you. Rest assure that there are more people who live with cancer than die
from it. I am a two time cancer survivor myself. I am sending you
the URL to our album. It has a lot of excellent information in it, some
wonderful survivor stories, pictures of our survivors and a memorial section
(you may want to skip that section!). Warmly, your friend,
lillian
