jeff,
so glad to hear that. If they've scanned your mother and can't find any "spots" elsewhere then the chemo is a good idea - she could be at a ridiculously early stage and that is the perfect time to tackle it.
If your mother has "deficits" (to use the standard term) - ie speech, movement problems - rehab is important. Lots can be done with various therapists to make sure she manage any issues that don't resolve over time.
The brain is an amazing thing - very plastic (adaptable) for somethings but not so for other things.
Even though the Dr was an alarmist, I'd rather have an alarmist than a casual "wait and see-ist" any day.
Believe me, what ever your mother faces now, it just has to be better than a brain tumour.....
