Overdue Update

Post by Andrea

Hello everyone,

The past couple of days we've had such nice weather! We are getting good use of our sunny front porch!

My Mom finished round 4 of chemo last Wednesday and unfortunately she didn't make it through totally unscathed this time. She was lucky to make it as far as she did without feeling many side effects, but this time she vomited a few times after treatments. However, she is feeling very well again.

We haven't had a lot of feedback about Mom's cancer. We don't know if it's getting better or worse. We don't have a way of knowing if chemo is doing what it's meant to. And since it's starting to make Mom sick (when it seems she would otherwise feel well) she is wondering if she will call it quits with chemo or at least put it off for a while.

Mom has really been enjoying yoga at Hope Spring, but she doesn't really enjoy her exercise class very much and I don't think she will be participating in it any more. We will try to find other ways to get active. There are lots of nice areas around for walking. And we are thinking about trying to get the canoe in the water and paddle around!

I hope you are all doing well and are able to enjoy the nice weather too! Take care
