Mom had breast cancer back in 2010 and was in remission by January 2011. This January 2013, just 3 days before I left on my wild adventures of WWOOFing, she was rediagnosed with stage four breast cancer that has shown itself now to be in her liver and in her lungs. She was put on an oral chemotherapy that at first was pretty harsh, but it has gotten better as they have tweaked the dosage and length of time on and off it (currently one week on one week off). She is doing really well. She remodeled her kitchen in February and March while I was away and in June she did a week long trip to northern England to do walking tours of the Yorkshire mours. She's just that cool. She had a CAT scan when she got back last week and had the good news that things are shrinking and chemo seems to be working exactly as planned.
I told her she has to live to see this baby graduate from high school ... and hey maybe she will. :)
So far so good in cancer land. She really has almost no chemo symptoms and is working and active and awesome.
Love this update!!!!
