Pathology reports confirmed that all three tumors were very aggressive and that's going to drive the rest of my mom's treatment. She finishes her external radiation treatment on Monday and then gears up for a rotation of internal radiation and chemo. The first round of chemo is a cocktail of two drugs and will last 10 weeks followed by a 10 week cycle of a third drug. In between she'll have internal radiation treatments for the uterine cancer. It's a lot and it's a long road but my mother is a rock star. She has an incredible attitude and is just working to accept that this is her reality if she wants to be healthy. We certainly all have her back. I'll admit it's rough, though. I hate seeing her go through this. I hate it. But I'm keeping my eye on the late fall when we can hopefully say that this is all behind her.
