Mom had her second round of the cancer killing poison today. I wasn't able to go because I had to sleep for work (woo hooo night shift!).
Little sister Lisa went with her, and mom had the same sweet nurse again. Wish I could have been there to entertain mom and say hi to Kara.
I called her tonight, and she's feeling well so far. I'm sure by tomorrow she will start to feel the effects of the chemo again... but I will be up there in the morning, ready for this second battle. I think this time around we're a little more prepared for the unwanted side effects (i.e.-nausea, extreme fatigue). We are going to make this round better because we know a little more of what to expect. My one main goal during this round is KEEP MOM LAUGHING. I have a few ideas up my sleeve.... but if anyone has any thoughts of what could work, let me know :)
On another note, here are some books that friends have recommended so far through this journey:
Can not wait to read this book! Mom's friend Connie sent us this one. I had seen it online and was wanting to buy it but she beat me to it. Thank you so much Connie! You've given us such support so far :) I'm so glad your in my mom's life!
Now this book I have read, and I must say.. WOW!! It is incredible. I think during this week while my mom is going to be feeling crappy with chemo, I will read it again. This story gives me all the strength and inspiration I need to get through this. I recommend this book to ANYONE who needs a little reminder about the life after this one.
