Journal entry by DeeDee Reiner —
Happy Friday all.
Its been about 5 weeks since our last update. Mom is doing great. No bumps in the road.
Mom is completing her 4th week of radiation. 2.5 weeks left.
Radiation is Monday through Friday. It takes about 10 minutes. It actually takes longer to drive from Breezy Point to Brainerd then the actual radiation appointment. Thank you to all the friends that have helped drive and given my dad a little break. Thank you to all that have offered also.
As Fall is approaching Ive been looking back to when we heard the news last March. Seems SO long ago but yet just like yesterday. Mom has been a trooper through this entire journey. So positive. So strong.
She is getting a little peach fuzz growing on her head.
So whats next??? Good question. After radiation is complete mom will go back to have blood tests and see her Oncologist and team. That appointment will happen towards the end of October. We will update more at that time.
As always, thank you for the prayers, cards, calls and positive thoughts. Enjoy the beautiful fall colors.
-Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. The best is yet to come.
