What's happening next as far as treatment goes.
Please if you're going to read this, be kind enough to comment, as I'm trying to reach a record amount of well wishes. Read bottom of this journal entry. sweatdrop
After confirming that mum was going to have Radiation Therapy, and the dates being set to start. We've had a change of plan. After visiting so many doctors and being told, that it's best to go ahead and have Chemotherapy. That's what we've decided.
The Doctors - being a Professor of Oncology and a Professor of Radiology, plus our own family doctor all advised us to do Chemotherapy to prevent this stupid disease from spreading further in the future. sweatdrop
So after making further inquiries and booking in for Chemotherapy. Mum begins her treatments as of next Thursday 7th of April. One week from today. It's gonna be a 16 week treatment course, once a week. Along with Herceptim (not sure of spelling) once every two weeks, for nine months.
In between all these treatments, we'll be going to see doctors and doing regular checkups, including tests.
But it does not end there, because after Chemo, she'll need to ongo further treatments of Radiation Therapy. 6 weeks, every day of it. sweatdrop
My poor mum, being her age, and the weak soul that she is. I'm praying that she'll be able to handle all this. I do so feel very sorry for her, and I know she'll suffer during this, but thinking long term, it's all for the best.
Even though my time is limited now, as I'd like to spend quality time with her. So I log in for a bit each day, just to check on things. I know that once she starts all these treatments, my time will even more so limited. In fact, it might not happen at all.
I'm going to miss so many events on here during that time I'm away, like Easter. However, it boils down to family first. Gaia will always be here for me, no matter what. I'll also certainly miss all the wonderful friends that I chat to on a regular basis, but our friendship will also always be there, no matter what.
As far as work goes, I've got wait and see how much time I can have off, to accompany my mum during this crisis. As far as I know, they pretty understanding, but when I tell them that I want 9 months off without pay, I hope I don't lose my job in process of it. Wish me luck, in hoping they'd understand my situation and let me have that time off. gonk
Mum and I, are all we have, and she is more important to me than anything else.
I'd also like to say, thank you to everyone who has wished mum a speedy recovery. And I'm aiming at doing something special for her, if I can have your help in making that possible. This will certainly brighten up her day.
If everyone that reads this, can please please post in here well wishes for mum, I'd like to make a record of this, and bring her in here and show her how many prayers are there for her. So post away, and help me reach a good amount of replies.
Much love to everyone.
