Dear family,
Thank you so much for all the prayers, thoughts and good words that have poured in for mom.
A quick update is that mom began her therapy last Thursday. Her oncologist is confident this is a fight worth fighting...and so mom put on her boxing gloves to began her chemotherapy...a magic potion of cancer fighting therapies that she'll get every 3 weeks. It's modern day alchemy, and the process has progressed substantially in the last six years. The therapy takes place in an environment of comfortable lounge chairs in a community room forum with other folks getting their own personal magic potions. Courage, and love and determination are in that room. Shared stories, new friends and triumphs have emerged. Sweet mama came out of round one with relief that the afternoon was over and that the process of telling the confused cells in her body to get the hell out had begun.
She's resting. Exhausted as expected ... and thankfully no nausea. No nausea is truly a blessing.
Rest for the body to heal. Love, the strong will of a country girl, and your continued thoughts and prayers of sending healing light to her are integral gifts.
Love and light.

Mom looked good today,she was tired and did eat and walk around the house. She is using a walker right now. Her knee has been bothering her. We talked to the radiation doctor on Thursday and have plans to start treatment soon. Everyday for 15 days. This will be targeted treatment in her knee and hip area. They are reviewing if we can radiate other areas as well, such as the mass in her right posterior of her lung.
ReplyDeleteShe is determined to beat this as we are. She is surrounded with love at all times. Send healing and good health loving light to her daily. Thank you family for your well wishes.

Just thinking of a smoothie recipe: mango, lemonade, ginger, Emergen-C packet, lemon flavored, and protein powder. It couldn't hurt!
