Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

[oem4me]

Eric, your work is first rate and I'm betting your mom is already very proud of what her son can do. She of course is or will be honored with this build.
I personally have had to deal with that disgusting disease in many forms with my own family. One member of my immediate family is now a thirteen year cancer survivor and completely clear, this against an incredibly poor initial prognosis. My mom sadly succumbed to a much lesser risk a few years ago.
I'm not one to give unsolicited advice about things that I could not possibly understand, but I would pay no attention to statistics and maintain a positive outlook as much as you can. Your mom needs this.
As for yourself, all I can tell you is what gave me peace throughout my mom's ordeal and still does even today. Let your mom know she is loved. Open the faucets and let it pour, all of it. Leave nothing unsaid. If you already have this kind of relationship in place, then good for you. It will greatly benefit you both now and forever, regardless of outcome.
