A "mom" update

After almost 6 weeks of treatments, my mom is now all DONE, at least for round #1.  She completed her last radiation treatment (photos and videos of her ringing the bell will be coming) today (4.29.11) and we are pleased she will get a break.  She has had a VERY difficult time with the chemo and radiation together, dealing with all kinds of "GI issues".  She has lost alot of weight, but remains in relatively good spirits.  Yesterday (thursday 4.28.11) she was admitted to the Fox Chase Cancer Center hospital with the hopes of giving her a "tune up".  We are hopeful that she will be able to regain some strength over the next few weeks, until she gets her next "scan" to see how effective these treatments were.  We then will form a "game plan" depending on what the doctors agree upon...  So, only time will tell.  Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers - as she has quite a fight ahead!
