How far we've come...
Tomorrow it'll be 25 months since diagnosis and aside from fatigue mom's health seems to be doing fine.
Knock on wood, and thank god the past 4 months have been completely uneventful.
We haven't had to visit an emergency room in almost 6 months and her pain & anxiety have been well under control along with her weight that has remained constant @ the 145lb mark.
After deciding to take a 9 week chemo break she finally resumed her
~46 hr 5fu every 3 weeks infusions~
2 weeks ago and has been feeling even more exhausted and fatigued then usual.
I don't know whether it was the mushroom additives/alternative medicine mom took religiously at the beginning or possibly the healing properties of breast milk after I had Ellie that mom consumed by the gallons. While Ellie looked on in disbelief probably thinking " Hey that's mine, momma!"
But as we sat around the dinner table laughing tonight thinking about all the crazy unorthodox things mom has put herself through and contemplated doing these past 2 years.
I felt utterly blessed to have had all this time with mom we never thought we'd get, regardless of how and pray for many more days ahead of us, while always hoping the good ones always outweigh the bad ones.
