Hi Everyone. I just got back from NY where Mom had her second chemo and is in remarkable spirits. We took a picture for the website. She is in her new wig and summer hat. My sister also purchased a winter hat as well. Her 3rd chemo is in 2 weeks and then CT scan. We hope the chemo will have shrunk the tumors and stragglers enough so that she can have surgery. Let's pray so. Anyway, thought I would put our picture so you could see who we look like.

    So Sweet
    You are all so lucky to have each other. You are such a wonderful daughter and I'm sure your mother feels truely blessed. Such a sweet picture...tell your mom she looks great and I will keep her in my thoughts for her treatments to not effect her too harshly.

    Take Good Care, Trish

    Great photo
    Love the picture. I'll bet that you will have a surgery date soon. Be sure to take some night caps to the hospital because the wig is not so comfortable for bed. No need for nightgowns but do need a easy to get into robe because getting up and force walking is the most important recovery method your mother can do. It is painful but I forced myself and recovered rapidly. I was sleeping on my tummy as soon as the staples came out, which felt so good after 8 days on my back in the hospital. I had four chemos before the surgery and that shrunk my tumors by more than half (from 2.5 to 1.0 cm or less). (((HUGS))) Saundra

    Great pic!
    Hi Lisa, nice to see you and your mom's faces! Glad she is in good spirits, and the chemo is not knocking her off her feet. There is a new report out last year that documents how much better cancer patients do with good support. Your mom is proof of that!
    Warm hugs,
    Kathleen:)
