Heavy Duty Drugs....

Thank goodness for modern medicine! Mom will start a heavy duty regimen of radiation and chemotherapy for her lungs. The cancer is also in her lymph system, so one more hurdle on the journey. She had her 8th treatment of radiation (out of 14) on her brain. It has given her a burn (like a sunburn) on her scalp at the incision site. After the 14th treatment she will then go up north for specialized stereotactic radiation on specific brain tumors. She is starting to have some conversational memory loss, but the doctors told us to expect that. We will find out more information on Tuesday, Jan. 13th. She is a trooper (was there any doubt???) and continues to go to Taylor's volleyball games and stay involved in family life. Papa has a few new bruises on his shins from her cane, but I'm sure they will heal!
Again, thank you family and friends for your continued support. We couldn't do it without you.
