Week two of chemo treatment two

Happy Wednesday!

Mom received her second treatment last Tuesday. Cyndi took her and stayed with her all day as she received her chemo drip. She said it wasn't too bad. She had to begin receiving the shots again each day to help her white blood cell count. She has been feeling pretty good overall. Friday she went shopping, to lunch, visited me at work, and then to the cancer center for her shot. Saturday she was pretty tired and didnt feel great. With rest she felt better Sunday.

She has not been nauseous yet. She has a variety of caps to wear now, and I have enjoyed shopping for new caps for her!!!! It has definitely brought a new spice to Christmas shopping. Cassie took her Christmas shopping on Monday. Mom and dad hosted the supervisors for lunch yesterday. The Gaumer's (long time friends) visited her this evening and brought some soup and salad over. Tonight mom was pretty peppy and even helped me wrap a gift. She has a busy day tomorrow, so I made sure that she knew she needs to rest.

TOmorrow night she will help lead with Uncle Ron in the last song at the Sunny Hills Holiday Concert. Mom and I have matching santa claus beanies and earrings (we are going to be too cute).

I was driving home tonight and was tearing up just so happy to have mom around this holiday season. We are so fortunate for the amazing medical research!!!! I am so grateful for mom, family and friends all around. I am just amazed each day what amazing people we have in our lives that are there for us through this journey. I am just so thankful for the texts, calls, emails and messages from family and friends asking how mom is as well as how I am doing.

Each day I wake up and put on my LIME GREEN lymphoma cancer awareness bracelet and am happy that from amazing research they are able to treat mom. I love her and this Christmas is so amazingly special.

I want to thank all of you for continuing to read, mom is so happy to know that you are all reading and following her progress.

She has an appointment on Friday with the oncologist. Dad takes her for her pet scan next week and we will find the results of this scan on the 29th when she has her third round of chemo.

Much love, Kerry (bear)
