So we headed up to the hospital. It was a beautiful day today, so she decided to have a little walk from the back of the parking lot to the hospital. She definitely got winded but made it all the way. First on today's to do list was an MRI. We went to the registration desk and were told that her MRI was scheduled at the imaging center not at the hospital. So I went and got the car and then we drove next door to the Imaging Center.
Everything went fine with the MRI. They left her IV in, so that they wouldn't have to put another one in for her Chemotherapy which we were heading to next. We went back to the hospital, to the Infusion Center. It wasn't very full today so they got her started right away. A little bit of saline and then her Etopside followed by some more saline. They didn't give her both at the same time cause her veins are so narrow, but it was still much quicker than yesterday and we were out of their in an hour and a half.
We talked more with the nurse about having a port implanted. Mom decided to go ahead and get that done so the nurse contacted Dr F. to start that process. She will more than likely get that done right before Cycle 2 of her Chemo.
So all in all a pretty good day. The nurse cautioned her that the further she got into the treatments the more they would affect her but she is trying to enjoy the good days. You can't ask for more than that!
Tomorrow: Pet Scan and day three of Chemo.

She looks great and it just occurred to me to suggest the book The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan.
It is about how Kelly was diagnosed with breast cancer and how she fought cancer at the same time her father (her hero) was battling cancer.
It's a wonderful read. I was able to meet her at the Talbots at Plaza Frontenac. She is really nice and amazing
that's one pretty mama
