It's Chemo Time!

Mom got her port placed this afternoon (she said it was quite an experience!) and then got admitted to the unit. She is back on 3 East, but now in room A8. Chemo starts tonight at 9pm and then each day at 9am and 9pm until Wednesday morning's 9am infusion. Each infusion will take about 2 hours She will be able to go home after that and will have return visits for lab work twice a week.
Several of the unit staff have already stopped in to say hello:)
Praying for strong, effective chemo that isn't too hard on the side effects!!

  1. Mary, praying for you that all goes smoothly. I know Don had picc lines a few times. Haven't heard much about the swelling and scaley skin. hope that's resolved. I love you and pray daily. Also hope Winford's treatment goes well. We learned how difficult it is having two parents 'sick' at the same time. You have four beautiful kids and in-laws that I know help you out a lot. Thanks Kids and spouses!!! Love Barbara Joy

  2. Mary - you are one woman that can beat it all - as they say "to hell and back" Looks like the staff members seem to think you won't be coming back - that alone would make me happy - I finally realized why you called your husban winnie - Windford (sp) is really a regal name - take care - in my prayers
