Malena,
Sorry to hear about your dog. That's horrible.
One of my neighbor's dogs was recently diagnosed with mouth cancer, had some surgery and is now undergoing radiation treatments. My neighbor now hopes to try to set up a foundation to further cancer research for dogs.
Glad to hear the chemo and rads have a good effect on your mom's cancer.
I know what it is like to be bombarded with many things at one time. My dad was dxed with prostate cancer in fall of 2005, my sister breast cancer in early 2006 and then my own breast cancer in late 2006. In December, my sweet dog (border collie mix) was just going down hill fast and we had to say goodbye to her just shy of her 19th birthday. But I've gotten through it all and I'm still standing.
All my best to you, mom and the dog!
Kathy
