      My mom did both radiation and Chemo. Little did I understand then....but they had only given her months to live and if we were to do it all over again....I would never suggest either one. It only made her live 2 months longer and those were not easy on her. When she was diagnosed with lung cancer...they told her it was "treatable!" Not curable! Which meant her time was limited. I thought she was going to live and so did she! Both are very hard but the radiation seemed to zap her! I guess because it was very close to the end!

      Just spend all the time you can with your dad. I did and even quit my job to be with her. I have never regretting it!

      Visit my mom's site: www.charlotte-luce.memory-of.com You must have a fast paced internet service to see it all though! I hoped I helped! I am here for you if you need me! :)_
