Yes, I know I said I would update regularly. I’ve been wanting to find the time and today it is. I had no idea of all of the things you had to do before anything could be done. So lets see where we are. First of all, we have met with the surgeon, the radiologist, and on Friday, the oncologist. That’s a lot of specialists. But of course everything has to take its time and course. Mom is getting a little ancy ( if that is how you spell it , I don’t know). Keeps saying she is starting to hurt really bad. So on Monday of last week we took her to her regular Dr. She gave her some pain meds that mom won’t take or can’t. They made her sick, so no more of that. But of course the pain went away. (hmmm)
Her surgery is set for June 6th and radiation is set for June 13th – 17th. This going to be hard for the three of us just to be able get her there and back and there again. Living something like 30 miles away and having to do the treatments twice a day is going to be a roller coaster ride. Especially since the treatments themselves take 30 minutes or so and the time in between is about 6 hours. But surely with three of us working at it, we should be able to do it. Like I said in previous post , she is having the 5 Day Mammosite Radiation Treatment procedure. 2 treatments of radiation for 5 days. Then it should be over. If she can handle it. Not sure what we will do in between visits.
She seems to be in good spirits and pretty much understands what is going on and what we are going to do. She can’t seem to keep up with everything and of course asks quite a bit what we do next. What are we doing and things like that. She constantly wants to know if they are going to take off her whole boob and we assure her that isn’t going to be the case. Hopefully after all of this, it will be gone, but there is always the chance it can come back or appear somewhere else. We’ll hoe that row when we get to it. But for now, we just hang on for the ride.
Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts. They do mean a lot and we are all grateful we have each other. I’m thinking about all of you that are going through what you are. Just know, you can call me 24 hours a day if you need to talk, or need any help. I’ll do what I can. I love you all and now I need to go check on mom. Next update pretty soon. Sooner that this one was I hope.
