Round 1

Mom will be starting chemotherapy next Thursday. She will have it once a week for three weeks, followed by two weeks off. During the two weeks off, preparation will be done for her radiation treatments at Stanford. After her two weeks off chemo she will have up to five radiation sessions over the course of a week. This will be followed by two more weeks off then another round of chemo.

Of course, mom is a bit terrified of chemo, and rightly so I'm sure, but the doc told her that the one she is taking is not one of the really bad ones as far as side effects are concerned. Everyones body handles it differently so we'll see how she does. I know she is just happy to gt the ball rolling.

It will be mid-way through next week before I post again.
