    Hey Artfinger
    Its a tough situation you all have been dealt. This board pretty much deals with cancers of the head and neck exclusive of brain and spinal cord cancers. There is a specific board for brain cancer, where I have seen discussions of your mother's situation many times. You are more likely to get coherent thoughts on treatment alternatives from there. Just getting through process is an ordeal for any of these malignancies. If there's anything any of us can do to help, keep coming back.

    Best regards
