Today was treatment #2 of 14 for mother.
She just called....all breathlessly excited.
She wanted me to know one important fact: she was still sitting and waiting to become sick and feeling rotten!
Over the weekend she and I talked a number of times. She was upset about the impending chemo...and worrying about what it would be like. By nature, she is a fighter and the eternal optimist. So on Saturday she went to the beauty shop and had her hair cut...and styled. She said that if her hair is going to fall out, it's gonna look good when it does. She painted her fingernails red....and shows up for her appointment all dressed up and in fine spirits.
She was in the midst of doing laundry when she called just now.
Gosh I hope and pray that this is not a negative experience for her and that she winds up feeling decent during the whole thing. They say she will be done by Thanksigiving. They're going to be monitoring her blood count closely....and doing some scans to see how the cancer is responding to the chemo.
I appreciate all your positive thoughts and prayers for all of us!
