Warrior

Mom took her first chemotherapy pills about an hour ago. She was fitted for her radiation mask earlier today. It will be another few days before she starts the radiation, but it will probably be the proton therapy. The doctor used the word 'fantastic' to describe how she is doing. He told her that he could not tell by her neuro exam that she has had two brain surgeries. He was also the first doctor to use the word 'cure' in a conversation with my parents. He was talking about this treatment giving the best chance for a cure. Anyway it comes I like that word!

I am so proud to be the daughter of this amazing woman! She is a WARRIOR! She is fighting this and will continue to do so. I believe she has been a warrior since December 12 when she had her first craniotomy. Fighting! Fighting! Then again on January 4 when she chose to have another more risky craniotomy. Fighting that cancer some more! This is the next battle for this warrior! She will fight this battle with the same grace I am sure. With her sidekick, my dad helping her every step of the way.
