It’s been over a month since Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer but she still hasn’t started chemotherapy treatments. The biopsy she was supposed to have done this coming week was postponed for a week. Once she has this biopsy done she can finally start her chemo treatments.
This past week she was a little under the weather—she came down with the flu earlier in the week—but was feeling much better once the weekend arrived. I call her every morning and it makes me feel better when I know that she has had a good day and is feeling a little better considering everything that ails her from swollen legs and her broken ribs to the cancer.
As much as we’re—my Mom, my brother, other family members, friends, and myself—all looking forward to the chemo starting in two weeks it’s going to be an emotional maelstrom. I am praying hard for Mom to build up her strength now so when she does start the treatments they won’t tire her or make her too sick.
Yes, I am praying really, really hard these days.
