Sherry, I feel that perhaps what we learn from our troubles is to try and understand ourselves and others. While your mum talks tough, perhaps she is unable to show you how worried she is. I had a friend who is a naturopath,and she had a very close friend who had a recurrence. She wanted this friend of hers to get on all the naturapathic medicine that my friend recommended. But her friend said "I respect your beliefs,(naturopathy) and I hope that you respect mine. Right now I need you as a friend, not as a naturopath or as a counsellor." Sometimes we just have to get down to tors and say what it is that we really need, right there, right now. Love, Roz
