What an incredible story, Tom! I had to stop for tears before I could reply! I don't know how old your mom is, but I am convinced that many doctors think if a patient is over 65 there isn't much need to pursue all the avenues. That's why I changed heart doctors. I got the impression from him in the 2 years I saw him that since I was over 70 and had cancer, why take aggressive measures? That makes me just as angry as it does you. When my oncologist first told me I had about 3 months ( that was 2 years ago!) I said "Just you watch! I'll prove that prognosis wrong!" And I did. Now I have a new and aggressive heart doctor and my oncologist listens to me and doesn't make predictions anymore! Your mom is so very blessed to have a son like you! We have all learned a valuable lesson from your experience! And I'm sure many of us added a prayer for you and your mom along with the prayers for Linda and Al . Hugs, Tricia
