It feels like we are starting into a bit of a weekly routine now. Our appointments are going pretty well. The doctor did a physical exam of mom's breast today. After just two treatments, most of the inflammation is gone. The doctor was very excited to see such good progress in such a short period of time. In fact, he used the word "Stoked."
During moms chemo treatment, she covers up with an afghan. Unfortunately, the afghan had a flaw it in. Some of the crocheted squares were coming apart. She wanted me to remind her to bring one of her crochet hooks next week so that she could fix the afghan. The family member of another patient was knitting and offered up a knitting needle. Well, I guess that was good enough. She fixed the afghan as best she could. The nurse told her that they are going to make sure that they give her a different afghan every week so that she can fix them all.
It as been 14 days since moms first chemo treatment. Her hair started falling out a bit this morning. It just looks a bit thinner at this point. We will be going shopping for a few hats next week. A wig seemed too hot for the summer.
Thank you to all of you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. It has made a huge difference knowing so many people care.
Of course your mom fixed the afghan. And she will probably fix the others as well. She is one of the nicest, and kindest, and skilled people I know. You, and your family and your mom are always in my thoughts and prayers. So if I have anything to do with it, she will be fine. Give her my love and a big hug on my behalf. Love, Gina
