Hanging in there is the best advice that i was given when both my mother & fater in law had cancer a few years ago. Due to a lot of prayer both parents are in remission and survivors. Prayer was my best friend at that time, still is. I'll prayer for you, your family and you mother.

What I find the most difficult is when people start talking about "how hard it must be for me". Realistically I know it is but with a lot of prayer I'm able to stay pretty optimistic about everything. Until I start listening to other people discussing how hard it is for me and then I find I get depressed about my life listening to them. Right now its just easier not to discuss mom with anyone.
