The past two days have been much more mellow.  Mom is feeling very weak and having a hard time getting much food into her.

She is experiencing mixed feelings about the radiation therapy that will start tomorrow.  On the one hand, we are all looking forward to moving from a "waiting around" phase of this journey to a "take action" phase.  On the other hand, she is somewhat apprehensive about how she will do with the treatment.

Mom is feeling too tiered for many visitors at the moment, but the well wishes, thoughts, prayers, and healing energy that is coming from our community of friends and family continues to be extremely appreciated.  Even if you've already sent messages for us to put in her binder, don't hesitate to send more thoughts if they come to you.  She could never get too many:)

See you all on the other side of day 1 of radiation.
