The procedure went super quick and mom recovered so well and we headed home by 10:30. She is feeling good so far, but said she is just starting to get a little uncomfortable in her neck. The surgeon said it went very smoothly!
I also did a bit of scheduling (just call me the personal assistant) for next week. I was able to speak with the oncology office and figure out her chemo schedule. She will start chemo on August 7th. The first two weeks will be fairly mild and take about an hour for her. The third week, they will introduce another med that will be the one that will likely make her sick, that will take another hour or so. Then she'll get two full weeks to recover from that before she starts the second round. And that's how it will go. As of right now, her first three treatments will be 7th, 14th and 21st, then two weeks off and will start again on September 4th. And so on. I will let everyone know if we need help as the time gets closer, but as of now, we've got the first round covered with my aunt being in town.
We are also hoping to have the wound vac out sometime next week as long as it's healing as it should. I've made a few arrangements to have that done assuming things are going well. Please pray that she heals quickly so that can be removed sooner rather than later.
Mom will continue to recover at home today and tomorrow then head back to her house with my aunt. Please pray she continues on a good path!
