your mom has to go through this. I was 62 when diagnosed two years ago and I had to use a wheelchair a lot. I was so weak before treatment started, I couldn't walk but a few steps and then a few times during chemo I was also to weak or sick to walk.
Make sure you keep doctors advised of all her symptoms. I sometimes toughed it out when I really needed doctor's care and it only made things worse.
