Hopefully the worse is over

I can't believe 20 days have already past since my last update omg x_x
Well updating about mom and me.
Mom had 4 treatments of a very strong, serious chemo, the strongest you can get
I believe and fuck it did kick her ass. This last treatment, last thru has been a nightmare
I took her to the ER twice, sat night and yesterday, we were there for 6-7 hours and
she was in serious pain, cramping in her stomach. She had got an infection and
couldn't take her pain meds, well any meds, and no food she threw it back up.
They finally gave her a pain patch which is time released over the course of 3 days
Now that was the last treatment of THAT chemo, and the last of shot she had to get afterwards.
The shot makes you sick too, its meant to force your body to create more white blood
cells since the chemo kills them off. So.. now we wont see another chemo treatment
until the 5th, plenty of time to recover and this next chemo treatment is a lighter
mixture so the effects shouldn't be as bad. Heres to hoping the worse is over.
Mom is still super weak though, I have to be with her every day right now to help
her with everyday stuff like bathing and taking care of house things like cat and food.
I think in about a week things will turn around, she should feel stronger and I will
be able to work more at home.
FA+

I'll keep her in my thoughts.
I really hope the next treatments arent so bad >.< My heart is with you both!
/manymanymany hugs
...and for that matter, does anyone know if that sort of thing is being used still?
In any case, here's hoping for the best for your mom. It sucks to have to go through that with a family member, but just do what you can for her. And hey, don't forget about taking care of yourself every now and then. ^_^; Take your time, if you need to.
