Starting Chemo

We survived the holidays but the snow is about to get to us all. It has been snowing since before Christmas and still more in the forcast. Mom and Dad have not been able to be on the go like they normally do with the weather.
I have not posted in awhile but Mom has been feeling pretty good. She went back to Dr. Shem(surgeon) on Wednesday and got a good report. Her surgery has healed well. She will be starting chemo on Monday 11th at the Cancer Center in Beckley. The Dr in Beckley will be in contact with the ones at Bowman Grey during the chemo regimen. She will start her Neupogen shots(to help WBC,RBC counts) tomorrow. Hopefully she will be able to tolerate the chemo ok. The chemo will be a little different than the first round with an additional drug added to it. Dad's back is feeling better with him doing his therapy and he is scheduled to get injections in Feb. Keep them in your prayers as they start yet another journey.
