On Mom's birthday (May 17th) I added cute little laughable quotes. Did you notice? Figured we could all use a little pick me up. Unfortunately, Mom hasn't been on the computer much to get a laugh. The last treatment has really hit her hard. We had a fast for her because she was supposed to make a decision about chemo. If she quit, her benefits for further chemo would be lost should the cancer reappear. If she continued, she could be crippled by the chemo. It was a tough decision she wasn't looking forward to making. Yesterday was the big day. She went to the doctor uncertain about continuing the chemo. Her prayers and our fast was answered. She didn't have to make the decision. The doctor won't let her continue in her current condition, but because he's putting her in a protocol of hold, she is still in the study and will continue to get the Avistan if her strength increases in the next three weeks. She has lost so much weight. She's down to 121 pounds. Personally, I think she's just getting ready for bikini season. She says otherwise, but who's she kidding girls? I'd give anything (except chemo, cancer, sickness, loss of limb, loss of brain function, loss of wealth, loss of love, loss of work, loss of education, loss of family, giving up food, or having to exercise) to get to that weight!
But, she claims she's not getting ready for bikini season and that her weight loss is because of lack of energy and appetite. Sounds to me just like those skinny models that claim they're not bulimic, they're just naturally that way. I'm just saying....you decide.
In the meantime, we appreciate your continued prayers. Even bulimic people preparing for bikini season need our prayers.
Now, in Mom's honor, I'm gonna go have some chocolate. :)
