Stage IV Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

Hi there,

My mother was just diagnosed woth stage IV Invasive Ductal Carcinoma on Sunday. I am an only child and feel helpless because I can't stop her pain. She is only 63 years old, and still has alot of life to live. She looks so---o weak and sick and I just don't know what I can do or say because it has come to us as a shock. I also don't know of any alternative healing processes that she can use while doing chemotherapy. Also, any questions I may want to ask the doctor or know now instead of later... Sorry this question is so broad of a question but we are a small close family that cares so much for each other. I feel sick and unenergized too be cause of all the thinking and planning going into this...
