We are counting down the radiation treatments. Mom completed 24 of the 30 treatsments so far. The radiation therapy is going well. The doctor continues to be pleased with the response from treatment.
Mom had a few rough days this week. She stopped taking the oral chemo drug last week. We see the regular oncologist next week to see how long of a break she will before she begins the oral chemo again. I think it is good that she is able to have some better days around the holiday.
The big news this week is that she got a hair cut. This is her first hair cut since February. There was enough hair to shape on the sides and back. For those of you that are not able to see her, her hair is now curly. The only time I remember her hair being like that was after her getting a perm. So, a few chemo treatments and her hair came in curly. No more perms for her.
This is the first time that my parents will be joining us for the Christmas holiday in many years. They are normally in Florida by this time. I am glad that we will be able to share this holiday together.
So glad you will be together for the Christmas Holiday. Your Mom's hair is beautiful, so curly and great that she had a haircut. Thanks for always keeping us posted. John & I really appreciate all your updates.
