The third round of chemo was Tuesday. Mom has felt all right. Last night would have been the horrible night she experienced the round before. I think she has been a little more diligent about keeping up on the anti-nausea meds this time. She has been doing a little work on a quilt, watching movies, sitting at the pool with us (until the heat is too much!), and generally just taking it easy. Except the other day when I talked to her and she said she had washed the outside windows and was about to vacuum! You can't keep her down too long.
The doctor told her that she would get new scans in a couple weeks to see what the chemo and radiation have done to the cancer. It's almost harder waiting for these tests than the original tests that determined the diagnosis. She has been an amazing fighter and we are so proud of the way she has dealt with her trials.
Hope everyone is enjoying summertime. There is such a relaxing and lazy feel to the season that helps me to appreciate the little things more than usual. It's been great to see old friends and family. Hope you take advantage of catching up on things that usually get put to the side.
