It's on!

Chemo was a success. She is home resting and feeling no ill effects so far. She said that she didn't feel a thing. No burning, no discomfort.

Mom got home and a had a good rest in anticipation of my cousin arriving from Boston. Nancy got to the house around five. We all had a great visit. With my mom's side of the family there is never any shortage of laughter and there was plenty tonight. We grilled up some big burgers and sat around the dinner table telling stories. Mom talked about some of the times back in the day when she was young around Somerville just outside Boston. Nancy grew up in the same house so they share a lot of common memories. Mom had a great time tonight and it was a nice break from the routine. There was very little talk about cancer, it was just family hanging out. I think it was very therapeutic for her. Nancy will be in town for the week so I'm sure there'll be no shortage of card games, which is big in mom's family.

There is nothing else on the calendar as far as treatment goes until next week when she will have her next treatment.
