Easter mom and John and Darinka went to church which was really nice. After that I met them for brunch and we ate at the Egg and I. It was good and of course it was a beautiful day!! Mom went home and spent the remainder of the day resting. Her second round of chemo IV infusion was last wednesday and so now the side effects are kicking in. This round of chemo is Taxol (taxotere) and Carboplatin combined. It is extremely fatiguing to the body and her hair has officially come out and so on monday she buzzed the rest of it. I think she looks really cute like a young Sinead O'Conner. She is still working half days and resting at home in the afternoons.
Tomorrow we have a doctors appointment where she will get IV fluids with iron and some medicine that helps red blood cells (I forgot the name). Anyway, this is to prevent her from having another blood transfusion. We will also be scheduling her biopsy of the lymph node that is kinda protruding from her neck. The biopsy will confirm what is going on with her lymphatic system and see if the cancer has moved there or not officially.
She is well, but she is really tired. Please contact me if you need to get a hold of her and are not able to get through. She hasn't really been answering her phone much. Thats okay though. Anyhoo, well good luck and God bless!!!
