Hello all,

Mom is back at Leah's house and just had her 7th chemo and is due for an 8th chemo on February 26.[...]

Hello all,

Mom is doing well - fatigued, but she made it through surgery and is 5 weeks out with another chemo treatment out of the way.[...]

The latest update is that Mom is now at the assisted living facility. The address is:

Mountain View Adult Care Home
2651 E. Cinnabar Avenue
Phoenix AZ 85028[...]

Mom is still inpatient, with talk of her going home today. Yesterday, we watched the Macy's parade and the National Dog Show. A musician came by and serenaded her. She ate Thanksgiving dinner early, nibbled on lamb, sweet potato casserole and tomato soup. Oh, she also ate pumpkin pie, but not the crust. Late last night she showered and changed out of the hospital gown into her pajamas. She got a new hat that matched her pjs! The hats are made by volunteers for the patients who lose their hair from treatment. This morning she's having breakfast. The goal is to get her up and walking more. Because of the surgery, it's hard for her to laugh, cough, even blow her nose without her stomach hurting. She's doing great, everyone is so impressed with her progress.

Just a quick update to say they've taken Mom back for surgery.

She was in good spirits, making jokes. When they told her they were going to give her a cocktail of medicines, she said she was looking for a glass for her cocktail.[...]

Mom has had her chemos and is now gearing up for surgery.

Her surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, November 24. She says it will take about 4 hours and starts around 7AM Arizona Time (which currently is Mountain Time).[...]

Mom will have her 4th chemo tomorrow (Friday). She might have a 5th chemo on Nov 12th or will be prepping for surgery which will happen either after the 4th or 5th chemo.[...]

Greetings all,

Mom says to let you know she is doing well. She is adjusting to everything. Seeing the Mind/Body therapist was helpful for her in terms of understanding what she is going through. They gave her a CD to listen to with 3 sections: Meditation, Chemo, Surgery - and she finds it helpful.[...]

Things have been moving along slowly. Mom's next chemo is Sept 15.

She has been to Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy appointments (Monday and Friday). Working to keep her body moving and spirits up.[...]

Here's a very quick run down of the latest to update everyone.

Mom got her treatment plan last Wednesday.[...]
