This 3rd round of chemo has hit her pretty hard. She still was running around and doing things this week but has been extremely nauseated by this round of chemo and I know that getting up and going to do for others every day is what she feels she needs to do. I am amazed at how she continues to think of others and do for them. We hope others see her as someone who they can go to for help. She is always helping others and will continue to do so. I hope that people will see her kindness and continue to help her as well.
She is being strong and stubborn and sassy, as that is kind of her mantra in order to beat this disease (“beast” as she calls it) within. I am concerned because I know she is pushing herself. So if you see her please be mindful and understand how she is doing. She puts on a good front, but she is in pain and managing.
The next treatment is scheduled for the 23rd of August and we pray that the white cell count stays up to allow the treatment because this last time it wasn’t and had to be moved.
Anyway, I am very happy that my Mom hasn’t lost her hair even though it is still shedding and changing colors, but that is a side effect of the chemo too.
The one message she reminds me of is that she loves her children very much and she is proud of all of us. I believe that my brothers and I are decent and good people and I will attribute that to all my parents. My mom really is an amazing person. She is an incredible woman, mother, friend, and human being.
Thank you.
