Thank you so much for your reply, snodderly. I'm not sure about the new chemo, but will know more this week. I'm not surprised by the test results. My Mom's situation has been dire since August with many failed treatments and hospital stays.

I'm having a hard time coping. I'm feeling abandoned all over again. I feel like I have no one. My parents haven't been able to support me anymore than I've been able to support them. We're all on overload. I have good friends, but none of them seem to really grasp the enormity of my situation. They are all married and are very stable as far as I know. Their kids are doing great. They're all looking forward to summer travel plans and time as a family. That used to be my life.
