Today we were back at it at CTCA for our 21st day. Mom had her eleventh radiation treatment today and her mouth and throat are starting to get sore. She handled today's treatment with no problems. The raw natural honey really helps soothe her mouth and throat after radiation treatments; as well as the Magic Mouthwash which is a combination of three different medications.
Yesterday my sister and I met a very young lady who also has been receiving radiation. Today, while walking my mom to her daily radiation treatment, the young lady walked with us. Her name is Hope and today was her graduation day! Hope is from South Carolina and has been receiving cancer treatments since October 2013, so she was thrilled that she was going home. I waited for her to come out of treatment to join in her graduation ceremony and the ringing of the bell. It was a great celebration and made me feel even more anxious for the day that mom graduates.
Normally, tomorrow would be the last day for the week but mom's schedule has been changed and now we have to come back on Saturday and Sunday for a Neupogen shot.
The Charm of the Day; Red Hearts
