Prayers for her improvement and strength for you, Chuck. It's a horrible thing when we see our parents struggling!
First- I have never noticed you rubbing anyone the wrong way. Put that thought out of your head. Stubborn? Maybe so. Now is the time to use your stubborn ways to get through this. You got this Chuck!
Second- You and your mom have got my prayers.
Third- I am sure this is crazy difficult. I am sorry to hear it. You know you can vent here and these guys will be supportive.
Lastly- I don't remember the name, but with chemo there can be some short term "fuzziness". I wouldn't worry as much if your mom isn't as sharp as she was a month ago. Focus on the main health concerns. The chemo treatments can reduce some of the mental sharpness people have. From my understanding, it comes back.

Prayers sent buddy. I always found that talking, either face to face with someone, or to the great people on here would provide some comfort
Having been through some tough times with my mom (pancreatic cancer) it's never easy for either party. We're grown men, but we still love our moms. We'll keep you all in our prayers Chuck.
I can't thank you guys and gals enough! Sure means a lot to know you have my mom in your prayers!!
Stubborn, bullheaded, you name it that sum's it up LOL!! I'm glad you pointed out some potential side effects Phil. I went and looked up the side effects of the chemo she is on and sure enough half of the issues she is having lately are listed as side effects or potential. Cough, shortness of breath, weakness, confusion, dizziness, swelling in ankles, chest pain and anxiety stand out as the more recent concerns.

As a man you think you can simply step up and take control....and fix the broken things.
That's exactly how I felt with my 9 year old niece's brain cancer. I was ready to sell my house to fund her and go homeless.
I found I had control over absolutely nothing, other then my Hope and Prayer.
In the end, she died a peaceful death.
Not what I had prayed for by any means but at least it was a painless and peaceful exit as having slept for the last 2-3 days.
Our prayers are with you and Mom.
