Hi erikar. So sorry to hear you and your family are having to go through this. This is the time you and your mom are going to have to be real strong for each other. I know getting news that the cancer metastisized is hard news to take but please don't lose hope. True with cancer we just don't know what to expect and it's so scary. After getting news that my cancer metastisized to my lungs....even after months of chemo and radiation, I choose to continue to fight. There are so many inspirational stories of people who have still been able to live full and happy lives after being diagnosed, after metastasis, even at stage 4. For me, holding on to hope and my faith in God has helped me so much. Please know we are here for you and your mom. We're on your team. Neither of you are alone. Sending hugs your way.

It's a hard thing to do, taking care of another family member fighting cancer. I have had cancer 3 times, and had to take care of both mom and dad when they were diagnosed. Taking care of them was harder than getting the treatment. You being there for her means more to her than she will ever tell you.

I thank you for doing the right, good thing! Not everyone does.
