The weekend with Mom went well, though the visit was short and the days were busy. Ed helped out with the pre-arrival housecleaning, so I only had a few other things I wanted to get cleaned up before Mom arrived. During her visit, I baked two batches of cookies and began decorating the tree, plus made dinner Saturday night and breakfast Sunday morning. Each day I was pooped by 4 p.m., so I guess I still need to work on my stamina. She is coming back the first weekend in January to celebrate Christmas since I need to work December 26, the 31st and January 2.
My hair continues to fall out, albeit at a much slower rate. Mom was less shocked by my appearance than I expected, so I must have done a better job at preparing her in advance than I thought. Other than having sinus dripping problems (resulting in the cough) and getting tired in the late afternoon, I'm feeling pretty good. I restart Doxil treatments on Thursday the 18th and have the Zometa infusion on the 19th. That will begin the every four week routine until Dr. K decides to change it again. As I previously wrote, I'll have one more treatment in mid-January before having my scans again. At that time, I will also have a brain MRI prior to having a follow-up visit with Dr. Yamada, my radiation oncologist.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend, whatever you did and whomever you spent it with. Happy 30th anniversary to Melinda and Ward! Hope the rain in Carmel isn't dampening your visit.
