@brookealm2 You’re far away from your mom so I know your scared, but try not to think of the worst case scenario. It’s very hard being young and away from home and, I’ll bet exams are coming up. Do you have a doctor in Texas or a school health clinic? You might make an appointment and talk to the doctor and she what she/he suggests. Will you try that? And, let me know what they say—I worry about you

Hi @brookealm2, any update on your mom?

@brookealm2 Thinking and praying for you and your mom. Hoping the doctor's appointment brought some insite to either help find a good treatment option or relief by knowing how to resolve her symptoms. I really hate the unknown sometimes. It is scary - feels out of control. I hope you have some answers, a good plan, and plenty of prayers to face whatever it is during this Christmas season with your mom. ♥️

Goodmorning @brookealm2. My adult daughters rarely can accompany me to my appointments (one in Chicago and one in St. Paul with two young children, demanding job, and a an EMT-Firefighter husband.) At first, I did not want to burden them with information. Over time, I realized keeping them in the loop, even when there isn't a clear answer, helps all of us. They know what I know about the disease and treatment options.

I asked my doctor if I could record an appointment to review later on with my daughters. She was fine with that. Maybe your mom's doctor would be okay if you attended a session by phone? I think it was Becky who said knowledge is power.
Do what you need to do to take care of yourself for both your sakes. Get support, find information and maintain a curious, hopeful attitude!
Sending healing thoughts. Susan
