happy to read the cancer has not spread.

Advice, that is hard to say, stay in touch with your Mom and read her clues. Better for her to have a one minute conversation when she does not want and for you to feel unsatisfied with the brief contact than to have her feel lonely ... stay in touch on regular basis. You might not feel satisfied, but she knows someone cares enough to reach out. If you are up to it do some research and guide her care. Many people say do not google and then they also say to ask questions, you cannot ask questions without some knowledge. Try and be that balance between too much knowledge and burying your head, it is not an easy task.

Lastly ask for and seek help from family and friends.

Wishing your Mom the best.
