Mom’s cancer fight continued this week with the last of her rounds of radiation. They ended on Thursday, mom rang the bell, and we walked out of the Mayo Clinic to take her back home. She’s been suffering from some side effects, whether of the cancer or the treatments. Muscle pain and difficulty standing up this week. Ironically, that’s another possible side effect of Keytruda, which she took last week. The question is if the side effects are coming from that or the cancer. Or the radiation. Or the other drugs. But she did walk in and out of the house every day this week. She is better today than yesterday, and better yesterday than the day before. She is taking her pills on her own once more. That alone is an improvement. It’s the little steps that really matter in stuff like this.
