Hi all,

Thanks again for all your feedback and support!
Cathy – I will give you a call to talk about your experience!

Mom has been in the hospital now for a few days because of infections from the stents but it’s getting better. I hope we will go home today and can begin treatment soon. She is weak but getting stronger!
The only available appointment at Mayo I was given is at the end of July. The doctor here (at Northwestern) said she might start chemo soon (even when mom is in the hospital). I asked Mayo about what if we do chemo (because of time) and they said that we need to do a min of 2 rounds (I have no idea what a round is???)

With regards to surgery I also spoke to some doctors in Israel (we sent some papers) and they also said that they can’t do surgery…I also really hope that chemo (and or radiation afterwards) can help shrink this thing so it can be removed – and that my mom can handle chemo well.

Thanks again for your support and all the feedback.
Hugs,
Jenny
