        My mom was dx in 1998 and she is still here, so don't give up.  Each person is different.  Only God knows, no one else not even the doctors. 

         

        HUGS!!

              It is difficult.  My mom is traveling from Florida to Texas once a month and it is expensive.  Try calling around hotels by the hospital see if they can give you a better rate (advise them you are coming there for cancer treatements).  That's awfully high for parking.  We stay at the Crowne Plaza in Houston for 60 dollars and 4 dollars a day parking.  Usually we take a shuttle from hotel so we don't have a car.  The hotel shuttle takes us to the hospital and picks us up.  Air fare is our biggist financial burden.
