Halfway there...

Yesterday marked day 14 of Mom's chemo and radiation.  That means she is halfway through with the treatment.  She's been doing incredibly well.  She did have to admit yesterday that she has experienced a bit of nausea.  Her loss of appetite, which she brushed off as nothing, has apparently been bouts of nausea.  She finally succumbed to taking the nausea meds they prescribed in the beginning.  Since it was Friday, she had the Weekly See appointment again.  As with last week, the fill-in doc was there again.  He has to have the worst bedside manner EVER!!  And absolutely no personality whatsoever.  He is awful.

We also met with the chemo doctor.  He was pleasant, although he asked the question I think we have all been avoiding.  When is the surgery scheduled?  I think she is more worried about the surgery and recovery from it, than she is about the chemo, radiation, and actual cancer.  No more avoiding it, though.  She now has an appointment scheduled with the surgeon.  We are guessing surgery will take place in March.

All I can really say at this point is...cancer really sucks.
