I am bringing up this thread again because I wanted to share some news.
First of all, I am going to see my mother the day after tomorrow for the first time since all of this begun! I am very happy for this!
She had her first two chemo-sessions. She feels much better because the fluid in her abdomen is much less and she is not in much pain. She has her ups and downs of course and she is still very self-conscious about her hair that are already almost gone but the important thing is that chemo seems to work for her.
Her doctor is also very satisfied with the results so far because, as he told us, some times chemo does not help at first and they have to try out different chemicals, but in our case, they seem to have gotten it right from the beginning.
