I can say "Amen" to all the advice given here. I am also a supporter and it is hard to some times feel like I am giving the kind of support they need. You can't give up she needs you more now then ever. Keep pointing out to her those here that were given a death sentence, told to get their affairs in order. I am one of those and boy, that first year was a wild rollar coaster ride for me and my family!! I did not have the support that I have now or did I know anything about cancer. I had worked in a hospital but saw the bad ones and not the good ones. My impression was not a good one. Besides no one, but God, knows when we will die!! I am with the others here she needs to start aggressive chemo now and hit it hard. Wishing you all the best. Start praying and you will be led and know what to do. hugs, Sandy
