Another Round of Chemo

After a week off, my mom started another round of chemo today.  She wore her "Fight Like A Girl" hat that Bo got for her.  She had her make-up on and was ready to go.  Bo took her to her appointment.  She was supposed to start at 1:00, but wasn't able to start her treatment until 2:00 because there were so many people "getting" chemo as well.  Crazy and sad to think that the new cancer center in Logan is one of the busiest places in town.  Makes you appreciate your health.  My dad went and checked on her after he got off work at 3:30.   They got home about 5:30.  Some of the patients were impressed by my dad's legs :)  (He usually gets a few comments)

Her treatment went well.  Her neighbor, Mike Christiansen, volunteered to go and play his guitar for the patients while they received chemo.  Thank you to him (and his wife Kathy), it was a nice "distraction".

She continues to get stronger everyday.  Tomorrow she is going to check out some wigs.  She will have two more treatments (1 a week) and then they will do another CT scan to see what is going on.  She is amazing!  I'm grateful for her example and courage.  I love you mom!
