   Sorry about your mom. I lost both parents to cancer. 6 Months to live with
   lung mets does not sound right. Get her to a Medical Oncologist who specializes
   in breast cancer. It ain’t over yet Chris, and my advice is to fight to get
   her the best care available. Get a second opinion, but please stay away from
   those quack shops and get her to a good research hospital. In a time of need,
   these rodents prey on emotions by selling snake oil as a cure  for your loved
   one. I’m not advocating that they are all like that, but there are enough of
   these carpetbaggers around to taint the rest and I would not entrust the fait
   of my mother to them.  Good luck and once again, I’m very sorry about this.

                           1988  mother died from Multiple Myeloma
                           1995  father died from squamous cell cancer of
                                 the Ureter

   P.S. Call the National Institute of Health (NIH) for their recommendation
   for a good Breast cancer medical oncologist. I did this for my father, and
   they recommended Johns Hopkins for us. We found a doctor who did research in
   Kidney cancer and we almost saved my father as he had an 80% shrinkage to
   the tumors that had spread to his lungs. Unfortunately, kidney cancer spreads
   to the brain, and once this happened, nothing could be done.

   A friend of mine just got back from 3 weeks there – I’ll ask her for input.
   

   Best to you & your mother & her healing.

   All the best,
