I'd love to send her a hand-written note with some good wishes enclosed. I've done this for friends in TNT and I'd be honored to let your mother know what a special daughter she has in you. Keep up the good work with your blog and I'll keep reading. :) Thanks for all you are doing for TNT and the food bank, as well. Stay in touch, Rachel Beth,

I gave and attended parties. I met friends for coffee. I chatted online with buddies, cajoled girlfriends into going to workout with me, met other runners for long runs…. But then I put a lot of my social energy into one relationship (D.J.), and I stopped seeking new ones or even nurturing current ones. I have to say that I also withdrew a bit when we found out about Mom’s health. [...] [...] In the not too distant past, my dance card was full. I gave and attended parties. I met friends for coffee.

My conclusion was I would never have treatment if I knew it was non-curable. My mom had liver cancer, which I think she got from Hepatitis C which wasn't known when she was a young woman living in Africa. Keep enjoying life, it's very precious, and all the best to your mom.

What a terrible and difficult thing to have to go through. My mother-in-law died of pancreatic cancer two years ago. He death has left a big hole in the family. But we are able to look back and reflect on her beautiful life. Even in this last struggle with cancer, it brought out what an amazing woman she was. And it brought out the best in us as well. Blessings to you. Beth,
