Hello all... Rebecca and Seth got home safe last night. They had a wonderful time. Seth's first ever look at the ocean. They got sunburned, but otherwise, it couldn't have gone better for them.
Now... This has been the week(s) from hell. Rebecca has been gone for a year and was so looking forward to the visit home, and to see her precious dog. Well her dog died they day before the arrived. How cruel can it get.
I informed her of this on the trip home from the airport. Lots of tears, but she handled it much better than I feared.
Then... we when got home we had to tell her that her mom (my Mary Beth) has cancer. Breast cancer. Many more tears. That was yesterday. Today MB started Chemo. It has been a mind boggling couple of weeks. Doctors and nurse and more doctors and nurses. Radiology scans, CTscans, biopsy's, results, and on. We're worn out, and we are just getting started.
MB had a Port implanted two days ago and as I stated started the chemo today. The prognosis is undetermined yet. Stage IIIB is the estimated progress of the cancer.
The CTscan was clear for organs.
That's good. The treatment in all will take 14 months. It is what it is.
So we have a rough road ahead of us, but we've been together 37 years (since we were both 16) and we have ridden the rough road many of those years and we'll get to the end of this one too.
Soooo... I'm not going to be able to spend nearly the time on this thread as needed to do justice and need someone to turn it over to.
Thanks.
