August 23 Update: Zap it with radiation!

After three weeks of “recovery time” from the second round of chemotherapy, Mom started radiation on Monday.  She’ll be going in for a quick radiation treatment five days a week for the next six weeks.  Sounds like she experienced some nausea after the first day’s treatment, but a miracle anti-nausea drug did the trick.
In general, she’s feeling good and is enjoying a fun-filled August.  It’s been a lot of fun to be off on maternity leave and spending lots of time together.  Maretta goes back to college on Labor Day weekend, and the Babler household will go back down to one kid again.  Joey is going to be visiting colleges this fall.
Hard to believe!
