Hi anyjo
Welcome to the site, but sorry for your reason to be here. My gosh, you mum sounds like superwoman! 95 and still going strong. I think we all focus on the cancer, and everything that happens we tend to think...is it this? But in view of your mum's grand age, it could be anything I would think. I was told years ago, that the older you are, the slower cancer grows, because everything else taking place in your body is so much slower. So maybe your mum will do better than most with this. I hope so anyway.

Hello Nanniejen,
You must have been typing same time as me! Welcome to the site, but again sorry that you need to be here. I also have a husband with cancer. It does help if you fill in your profile and a bit of a biography and open it to view. It save repeating yourself too much on future posts, as people can just take a quick look at the background. It also helps people respond as to the sort of support you may need, and it shows "openess". It isn't compulsory though, so do whatever you are comfortable with.
Hope all you Newbies have a good look around this site, and the affilliated one cancerbackup. There is lots of info and support, and I am sure you will find friendship & help.
Love HarryB x x
