My mom was released from the hospital on Sunday, Jan 19. She returned on Wednesday for the results and treatment analysis.
The treatments will begin on January 30. That day she'll meet with the chemo team, and that afternoon they will begin the chemo/radiation combination treatments. She'll have 28 consecutive days of treatment except for Saturdays and Sundays. She'll have to stay in Houston close to the hospital so that the docs can monitor the side effects and 'reactions' to the treatments.
She'll be staying in a friend's motor home in a nice RV park close to the hospital. It's way more cost effective than hotel or the MD Anderson housing.
Here's an excerpt from an email my mom sent out: "...with everything that has happened in the last weeks all we can say is that we thank God that He has been so good to us! He has open the doors in the place that He wants us to be, and we know that we are in His hands and that everything that happens to us is for good..."
I'm so thankful for a mom that has the big picture in mind. Sometimes things may not look 'good' on the outside looking in, but we know for certain that God has our best in mind. We may not think it's the best, but only He knows the why's of the what's.
