3rd Round of Chemo started

Today my mom started the 1st dose in her 3rd round of Chemo!  That means that she is almost half way through her chemo treatments!  YEA!!!!!  We are so proud and excited for her to be at the halfway point!!!!  She will have the 2nd dose in her 3rd round of chemo next Wednesday April 8th.  

So, she will not be feeling very well over the next few days but the chemo is doing everything that it should be doing.  It just has some not so nice side effects that go along with chemo treatments (which are very normal to have).  One great thing that I wanted to be sure to mention is that my mom has NOT lost her hair!  It has thinned in spots but has not all fallen out.  

My mom has mentioned that she is going to try and take her camera with her during her next treatment so we can post a few pictures with the next update.  Years from now I'm sure that she will want to be able to look back at those pictures and see how far she has gone and all that she accomplished during this trial in her life.

I'll post more next week after the remaining dose in her 3rd round.  I was also thinking it might be nice if our family celebrated this half way mark during her journey while our family will be together over the Easter holiday.  Ideas anyone????    

Thanks for all of your love & prayers!!!!

Hugs,
Jennie
