Updating on Leaves on the Current
She was discharged from Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington on Saturday evening, around 7:30 PM and moved into what we call our music room (used to have an upright piano there) with the tv, with a bathroom off it, and with the kitchen and dining room next door.
In the week since we have had 5 additional radiation treatments, with this round scheduled for completion on Tuesday. The following Tuesday she will begin her chemotherapy, which will be a combination of periodic injections and regular pills, with a period of time of receiving medication and a period off meds. Of course, that is contingent upon how she and her body react to the meds. Her oncologist is hopeful the effects will be mild, and that she might not even suffer hair loss! I have offered to shave my head in solidarity, although so far she has rejected that idea.
Things seem to be going well.
