Thank you, lls8000, for taking time to write this note, which was not "harsh" in the least. I liked the phrase "her doctors are being careful" in deciding on the correct plan of action.

My Mom is content with the doctors and the treatment plan that has been laid out so far, but it's my siblings who question that process and, then, make me second guess myself. I worked as a heart nurse for over 35 years and things moved quickly in that world, so this cancer world seems to be on a different level. I just wanted to make sure this was a somewhat normal time frame.

I'm sorry for your diagnosis and wish you all the best.
