Re: Update on my Mom's Cancer

[Guest guest]

Dug,

I know what your going through. I took care of my

mom for two years . We moved to Tucson Az to retire

and my mom got real sick. They thought she had cancer

of the bile Ducks. We spent almost two years taking

her to different doctors and no one could figure it

out. The best specialists and still no one could

figure. Now she was down to 80lbs soaking wet. So i

finally told her that all those docs took her for way

to much money. Even though she is a military widow, i

felt like they knew nothing. So we took her to the

mayo Clinic in Scotsdale AZ.She has Lupus which if you

don't know what that is its an auto amune diease. They

gave her Pretnazone. She is doing great now. I hate

doctors and i am not intimadated by any of them. So if

you don't feel comfortable with one keep looking. I

will pray for you and your mom, good luck,
