My mom is starting to feel better after her second chemo treatment. She is still weak and tires easily so she isn't ready for visits yet but if you would like to call her I'm sure she would appreciate a few phone calls. During her visit to the oncologist, we found out there was a mix up on her lab work and we didn't get her tumor marker numbers before this treatment so we don't know how well the chemo is working. However, anyone who comes to visit her can see that it is working by observing how much easier her breathing is now. When I drove her home from the chemo treatment, she was stronger than she has been and was telling me how to simplify my life. It was nice to see her strong and smiling that day and ready to fight the cancer. Last Friday night, Maddie came over and shaved my mom's head. My mom was tired of seeing her hair fall out. While it was difficult for my mom, she is trying to focus on the positive sign that the chemo is moving through her body fighting the cancer. She was discouraged Saturday and Sunday because she was so weak and tired but now that she is starting to feel better we are starting to see the glimmers of the fighter my mom is again. We are thankful for the upward trend and are looking forward to it continuing this week. Have a wonderful day!
