Today was mom's last day of her "long cycle"! She is doing good but she is still weak. It's been a long journey so far. We've experienced and learned so much about this disease and the emotions thereof. I so hope that the efforts of the treatments results in good news for us all.
In about a month, she will receive an x-ray and see the doctor to determine the next course of treatment(s). She may only need to go once a week or twice a week, it all depends on the tumor.
She wants to go to the funerals of Uncle Bob and Aunt Kathy but she is too weak and still susceptible to germs. She is sad about this but hopes to be able to attend their burials (if there will be burials) in the upcoming warmer months.
It's ironic how mom is trying to make sure that I am emotionally okay as we have experienced so much these last few months with her cancer, two deaths in the family within days of each other, my surgery next week, my step-son to move in with Dan and I this month and the added workload because my boss left. My stress level is very high and although I'm not dealing with a terminal illness, my mom is and she is STILL encouraging me and making sure that I am alright and still being my rock. Not thinking of herself...as always. I love you so much mom! But don't worry about me, I said, I will be fine!
I hope she will be too.
