Last Week of Chemo

Well this is mom's last week of chemo (well last day is Monday, 2/25).  

Mom is doing well so far.  Her blood pressure, blood count and weight is good.   She just needs to remember to really push the proteins and fluids because of the chemo as it takes so much out of a person.

She is still getting radiation every day.  Her last day is around March 4th.  I didn't know this until I spoke to mom the other day, but apparently she has been getting x-rays every Monday and the doctor hasn't told her anything.  And she didn't bother asking because she just wants to get her treatment and leave.

So when I am with mom next Monday for her long day, I plan on asking her doctor why he hasn't said anything about the x-rays.  Maybe it's how they do things around there and won't discuss it with mom until this phase of treatment is over.  Either way, I want to to know what is going on.

We are still waiting to hear from Social Services about mom's Medicaid application.  I called last week and it still did not go through the eligibility process yet.  Yeah, take your time....while mom is struggling to pay her bills.

I haven't had much time to write lately, my apologies, but not much has changed with mom.

Until next time folks... :)
