Maryann,

Oh my did you make my day. I also couldn't believe it was everywhere and the Dr told her in the hospital she had two months. I mean come on. She was so upset because her daughter is in the process of adopting another child and was so frightened that she would never see this happen. She received Gemzar, potassium (IV) and fluids yesterday. She has only received A/C and T so I also think that she has so many more options. I'll talk to my Mom and check on HER2 status today and get copies of reports. She is definitely not a person that reaches out for help. She is an fantastic artist and lived alone for many, many years. I feel like I'm butting in but she is so trusting of everyone and doesn't question. I'm thinking her acceptance of the situation is leading her team of Dr's to think she is ready to go out. She is just a mellow person.
I think it is in only her liver and lungs. "Comfort chemo, 2 months and EVERYWHERE" are things that make me so mad!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Ruth
