Heather, Please talk to your mom when the moment is right......
We have been through many cancers in our family, and radiation does not hurt and will make a huge difference. What they are telling you preliminary is very good, and they have seen so much they are usually right on, but radiation is not painful and will make a huge difference. My mom had, and lived 30 years past, and another who denied radiation passed away soon. Radiation doesn't hurt at all and is an extra precaution which only takes about a half hour out of your day. Take the walk with her and support her, you will grow even closer, but remember to always encourage her and grab the extras like radiation. Turn it into a day out for lunch, any doctor visit or treatments, and treat it as a positive time to be together.

Sending my prayers to you both...
For what it's worth, my oldest and dearest friend has been diagnosed with almost exactly the same situation. We are extremely encouraged that a lumpectomy is sufficient, and merely radiation. It's chemo that causes the suffering. Many hugs...

Heather, my prayers are with you and your family. Know that there is hope, I have been
where you are. I have lost very close family members to cancer and have even kept my own cancer at bay. Please know that there are many things out there that can help your Mom that are not snake oils but, real healthy medical solutions.
Because of my family's and my own poor health, I have had to educated myself on this topic. I would be more then happy to share any and all research materials and medical data I have on cutting edge medical scince used here in the states and even over seas. It helped me to be pro active and learn at first everything I could. I have also learned about who is a good doctor and who isn't. How I can support and feel useful to my family in crisis. I hated feeling helpless.
If you would like to talk about anything just let me know.
Know you have many prayers being sent for you and your entire family. You are NOT alone!
Big Hugs,
Mercy

I just want to thank you all again
Your good wishes and kind words have been helping me (at least) a great deal. Now that I'm home we chat a lot and I keep rereading everything here when I get the wobbles and when we talk I am reusing some of your comments as encouragement and she appreciates the support. As do I! Hugs and here's to a better year.
