^^ What they said, Epic. Never be afraid to lean on us; we love you a whole lot.
Ahhh, Epic, it's hard to traverse that space between suspecting it's the end and hearing it said. I'm sorry. Peace be with her, and with you and your brother.
I'm sorry Epic.
I'm sorry, Epic. That's sad news, howsoever expected.
Epic, I'm so sorry.
Oh Epic, I'm so sorry.
You are in my thoughts, Epic, along with your mom.
I will echo that the buffista hive mind can be of great comfort in this type of situation.
Love and wishes for strength and peace, Epic. Please seek comfort here as so many of us have gone down this path. It is a huge rollercoaster ride and not so much a gentle path.

It makes sense if the treatment you are getting isn't working to try something else. I hope this is a more successful process for you.
Oh Epic. I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. Please come here to vent or cry or seek distraction when you need to.
