I got a brief update from my dad tonight, he will write more later -- Mom's radiation oncologist appointment went well today. Dr. Pollack took many xrays and measurements and he will take more on Friday so that they can determine precisely where to radiate. They plan to begin radiation treatments Monday. They anticipate doing the radiation treatments everyday for 5 weeks on her right shoulder, sternum, and lower back.
My Aunt Kathleen arrived in Wheeling tonight and will stay over the weekend. We're going to need help as the weeks go on with getting Mom to her chemo and radiation treatments, especially as she gets more tired. My dad has to keep working and I live too far away to be there everyday. I have built up a lot of sick leave so I will be able to use it to as necessary to help out.
Thanks for all of your support and love -- we really appreciate it.
