That's a Wrap

YEE HAW! Mom completed her four cycles, 8 treatments, 12 weeks, today- and with flying colors! She sent me this picture from her phone of her with our beloved Judy, whom we couldn't have done this without. She fielded every question and phone call with respect, empathy, and a prompt response. She did have to giggle a bit when Mom called concerned at how cold her nose was two weeks ago, but we'll call it even for the "Christmas gift" we gave her. If you missed that...you'll just have to back-read for yourself.

Tomorrow Mom flies to Florida for 10 days of relaxation with her father, who spent a month at the house following Mom's surgery. I'm so thrilled for both of them that they'll be able to really spend some quality time together.

In three months she'll have a CAT scan and some blood work to monitor her progress, but as of now, she is free and clear of appointments.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I don't know how we'll begin to thank everyone for their support. Mom has talked about volunteering some time for other patients diagnosed with cancer, and maybe that's the only way we'll ever be able to repay the generosity we've received; by paying it forward.

We're not out of the woods yet, but it's hard not to feel positive that we've beat this!
