My Mom has finally made it!!! #12 is tomorrow with the pump off for good (we're hoping) on Thursday. They are going to leave the port in for a while. Her follow up tests won't be until November. They are having a big party tomorrow. This has been such a long journey- a rollercoaster of hospitalizations, emotions, and chemo set backs. The most amazing thing is that she has fought on- like all of you!

I want to thank all of you for your encouraging words along the way. I am so proud of my Mom for sticking with it to fight the beast and to win the battle!

Just wanted to share our good news. It feels sooooo good to finally share some good news.

    So glad this part of the battle is over. I wish her a very long health filled life. Pat yourself on the back- you have been such a great caregiver and supporter. She is lucky to have you!!

    Great news indeed!
    Congrats to your Mom...and to you for being there for her. A bit of advice from someone who finished my last chemo 3 weeks ago: Don't think that because the chemo is finished, her journey is complete. It will take a long time to recover from the effects. And the emotional side changes as well. It's almost a 'let-down' feeling because our routine has changed. And, of course, the worry begins. We can't help it - we're human!

    Just continue to be there for her. She has fought an amazing battle and now can concentrate on LIFE!

    many hugs, Vicki
