A quick update for everyone :)
Walking: Mom is doing well today. She took a walk with Grammy (Charlene - her mom) and Great Grandma (Anna - her grandmother) this morning and another one this evening. She mentioned wanting to aim for taking two walks a day so she remains active through this treatment. She is working on eating frequent, small meals in order to keep her nutrition levels up as well.
Working: I talked to Mom and she said she was able to get a solid day of work in today which seemed to make her very happy. The more productive she can be, the better. As we all know, Mom thrives on a challenge and this is just another challenge for her to figure out and overcome.
Waiting: This one is for me, mostly. I have never really been around anyone who has undergone chemo so it is hard to know what to expect. I find that there is a sense of waiting for the proverbial "other shoe" to drop. I can't help but feel as though we are waiting to see what happens, waiting to see how she does, etc. Just a lot of waiting. I just hope once it all arrives that we are ready for it :)
Side effects so far:
Funny taste buds, achy feeling all over, restless legs, uncomfortable tummy (though not specifically nauseated)
