Numb

Mom had her first round of chemo yesterday. Taxotere and Carboplatin is the current cancer killing cocktail of choice by her oncologist.  The chemo nurse, Kara, was my favorite nurse since this journey has began.  She took the time to talk to us.  Gave me tissue when I started to cry, and laughed with us when mom made this new experience light hearted with some cute jokes of hers.  I thanked Kara for being so sweet. We needed someone like her for round 1. I hope she's there for round 2.  


Got the results back from the PET scan yesterday after the chemo session.  BAD NEWS.  


Scan showed metastasis  to liver, measuring 3.2 x 2.9 cm, a small 4mm nodule in the right upper lobe of the lung, and a 1.8 cm right breast mass. 

SERIOUSLY 


Haven't we been through enough already?  


We cried as a family all night on our back porch swing.  Mom finally broke down for the first time.  I think we needed that.  


Numbness is now here.  Cancer, why are you attacking my beautiful mother?
