mom update~ she beings dual rounds of chemo hopefully on wed. She will be taking chemo by IV and by mouth twice a day. Our dr. is looking very positive at the situation and the massive amounts of chemo are to "make up for lost time". Hopefully round one (21 days) will contain and take care of the lungs, round 2 (21 more days) will start to shrink the tumors, and round 3 (21 more days) will shrink and hopefully get rid of them. She will be on very aggressive treatments and also getting red platelet infussions and some other stuff. She is very strong and determined. Her goals are to see my brother graduate from college and me to get married, sooooo she just might outlive both of us if she is waiting for that to happen. It is very hard to deal with since I am not near them, but I am going home every weekend. Please encourage everyone around you to get properly tested. They say this could have been going on for a few years and we never knew because all of the symptoms were masked by other meds. she was on. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts...yall are the bestest!
I have been busting my tail on my boards...the deadline is near!
Got my issue of the Lamp today...some of your chapters are outstanding! I was reading about them and thinking about which ones the girls on here were involved in.
The weather is finally getting nice. I am a little sunburnt from soccer practice today!
Hope everyone is doing great....good vibes going out to all of you awaiting grad school, jobs, finals and other big things.
