And The Chemo Begins

>> Monday, December 15, 2008

With her second diagnosis of lymphoma of the stomach mom began chemo. She was working full time and we waited to see how her body was going to respond to it. Unfortunely she suffered severe fatigue, tireness and hair loss. We got acouple wigs and looked beautiful. She only wore them when she had to go out of the house because it made her itch and hot. Continuing to work during the 7 months she was being treated was not an option. During that time we all pitched in to do what needed done and to make things as stress free as possible so mom could try to deal with this disabiling treatment.

And of course regardless of how she felt, Sunday's never changed.

When I was in college, my grandfather went through eight months of chemotherapy. It was quite a struggle for us all and is an experience I'll never forget.

Keep us posted on how things are going through this holiday season.
