My Mother Has Esaphagas Cancer?

A month ago we found out that my Mother has cancer of the esaphagas (throat). She is not a candidate for chemo, radiation, laser or any other treatments which are currently available. The doctors told me today that she is in Stage II B cancer. They have informed me, after my asking them in private, that they don't feel that she will be here with us at Christmas time. I'm an only child (and am an adult). My Father died of lung cancer 21 years ago. My Mother and Step-Father (they married almost 10 years ago) live an hour away from me. He doesn't drive as he is legally blind and she was the driver before she collapsed at home back on July 26th. Needless to say, this is very hard for all of us, and anyone else who is going through the same thing. I'm sitting here crying and feeling very alone. I do appreciate being able to post my question/comment for all to read. I'd just like to ask for prayers for my Mother and everyone else who is sick.

Bright Blessings & Happiness To All
