Hi TS,

I'm not here to give advice or anything, just to share my experience of having a mom with cancer.

My mom had a stage 3 breast cancer when i was in my teen and she did not make it. I wish I knew more back then about cancer but I am not sure how much research and medication have improved over the years to cure cancer.

I remember vividly the doctor told us that chemotherapy for stage 3 patients is meant to prolong his/her life, not to cure the cancer as the chances of recurring is high. It's always hard to tell people this but the chances of death in a few years is quite high for stage 3 patients. My mom made it past 4 years before the cancer came back.

This was more than 10 years back. May be things have improved but I hope you do prepare for the worst. When you are faced with the worst case scenario, you have nothing to lose, so I suggest you to try all the possible remedies out there - western or otherwise. Give her the chance to live by doing all the positive alternatives. You never know that one of them might just work.

I hope for the best for your mom. There is nothing worst than losing a mom. Treasure her while you can.
