Aug. 11 Update: Mom’s feeling great

We’re all really enjoying these days.  Mom’s last round of chemo went really smoothly, and she’s been feeling like herself.
It’s a relief to be well-past the treatment decision-making, so we’re in a comfortable place where we’re just ignoring the fact that she’s sick (because she sure doesn’t seem sick), and we’re all just going about our day-to-day activities and enjoying spending time together.  Speaking of which, it’s been great to be home this summer!  I get to hang out with Mom quite a bit, and we always have a good time together.  They get to watch April while Bryan, Andrew, and I go to Wichita for the weekend.
The next treatment step is radiation and continuous chemotherapy.
That starts on Monday, August 22 and runs for six weeks.  The main side-effect they warn of is fatigue, which increases over the course of the treatment.  More details when we start that adventure!
