Best wishes regarding your mom. One of my best friends was in the same position 7 years ago (stage III breast) and currently is suffering no ill effects (except for some residual chemo effects when she loses weight). Hope you can keep yours and her spirits up.
Yeah my dad was a overnight DJ in the late 60s on one of the more powerful Chicago AM stations and he would get callers from across the country. The central location of Chicago, the relative flatness of the nation around here and the overnight bounces really makes it go an amazing distance.
