Two years ago, they told her she only had two months left, but she managed to hold on for two full years. Now, it has spread to her brain, even though her lungs look like nothing ever happened. They weren't right then, so I'm hoping there might be some alternative treatment now—maybe not long-term, but something to give her more time...

They told her today they might try some mild radiation... I'm not really sure what that entails...
