Bless your heart. I can sure relate. Not necessarily to the distance thing, but the cancer thing.
My husband was diagnosed with cancer in August of 2000, 5 months after we married. (This was a 2nd marriage for both of us). He was given a year or less to live. I nursed him the whole time. Believe me, you do NOT want to watch your blessed mother die. It was the worst experience of my life. My husband did have chemo until they told him that it was useless. He spent the rest of the time at home. He ended up dying in March of 2001, 12 days before our first anniversary. While I was honored to be able to nurse him, it was very difficult.
I AM sorry you live so far from your dear Mom and I know you want to be there for her. If you have Hospice where you live, make sure that she is set up for them to come to her home when it is needed. They are invaluable!!!
My prayers are with YOU as well as your beloved mother! God bless you all. Hugs, Lee
