I had a nice long talk on the phone with Mom tonight. We talked about a lot of things, but mostly she wanted to report that the Doctor said he's really happy with her progress today. Mom and I both agreed that "if Doc's happy... we're happy". The lymph nodes have shrunk about 2/3rds and the mass in her lung is continuously going down. This morning she said she woke up on her Left side and that was such a huge leap because she hasn't been able to be comfortable and sleep well on her left side in months.
The treatments continue and the end of radiation is in sight! We're all very thankful for that. Mom also spoke with the social worker at the Cancer Center in Watertown and she hooked Mom up with the 'Look Good Feel Better' program that the American Cancer Society offers for cancer patients. If you click on the link it will give you a better idea of what their goals are as a group, but basically Mom gets a free facial and takes home some make up and skin care products to freshen up and look like a goddess as she continues to kick cancer's ass.
She was pretty excited for the opportunity; she mentioned that the chemotherapy treatments make her feel so toxic that she's thankful to have a break from that.
Just wanted to update you all while it was fresh in my mind.
Thank you for the continued prayers and thoughts,
All the Love in the Universe, Abby
PS: a little honorable mention here for Tacy Cass who's been sending mail my Mom's way and making her giggle like a little girl. It's much appreciated for sure!
