I had my chemo treatments during the COVID year and the hospital need to limit the operating room use in case of a surge in COVID cases. You may say that I had the cancer treatment at the worst possible time. In any case, I don't think the outcome would be any different. Having 8 consecutive chemo treatments did took a lot out of me in terms of strength and I often felt a bit weak at times. Having a strong family support and an optimistic outlook in life was very helpful to me during that period.

I wish your mom the best. Tell her that I'll say a prayer for her. I am sure there are lots of people like me who are rooting for her so keep on fighting this disease.

Best wishes. J
