>I'll be sure to pass that on to my 72 year old mother (I can't pass it on to the others because they have all died from cancer already) who just survived the first round of cancer treatments but cannot undergo any more treatments because the treatments are too much for her system and both she and her doctors do not think she will survive them.

Tracey - I'm so sorry to hear this about your mother. I know you know it, but make as much time as you can to be with her as she goes through this. Use the time to have her tell the stories of her childhood and yours. Make as many memories as you can in the time that's left.
