Keep my mom in your thoughts and prayers today. She goes in for her trial run for radiation today and also gets her feeding tube and port put in for chemo. She will start radiation and chemo tomorrow for 7 weeks. We discovered in March that she has back of the mouth cancer that luckily had only spread to her lymph nodes on the same side the tumor is. They said that if it had spread any further there wasn't much they could do for her but make her comfortable. They actually think they can cure it at this stage. I'm personally more worried about her mental health through this whole thing but I also know that they have advised her and our family that they are giving her a very tough regimn of radiation and chemo in hopes that it never comes back.
And my PSA on this: This kind of cancer only comes from one thing: smoking! Do yourself and your family a favor and try to quit. Maybe not now, maybe not this year but try to quit at some point before it's too late!
