Mom completed 9 of her 30 treatments so far. She is still managing the radiation effects pretty well. It appears that the redness from the cancer is beginning to fad. A good sign.
She has also been tolerating her oral chemo drug well. The side effects have been very minimal.
Mom just completed knitting new scarfs for my girls. Julia's matches her backpack. Bridget's matches her jacket. They even got compliments on them from someone at the bus stop today. Nice to know that mom's handy work is being noticed.
Mom even felt well enough to hem a pair of Julia's pants for me this week. Needless to say, I didn't own enough stick pins for the job. So, the next day, mom brought over a box of stick pins from England for me. Apparently they have glass ends which you can iron over (instead of plastic ends that can melt). I don't even iron - but when I do, I'll have plenty of stick pins to use.
She got a bit of a cold this week, but nothing a few anti-biotics couldn't help.
Taking one day at a time.
Very good oral medicine is tolerable. Wish you can visit Rainbow Village as planned. Hope to see you guys sometime once your schedule is set. Best wishes and prayers for recovery. Boston weather is nice during days and nights are cold.
