Too good to be true

I knew walking out the infusion center last week was too good to be true. I didn't want to get too excited as we left just so I wouldn't get my hopes up too soon. Well my gut feeling was right. 

Mom was scheduled to see Dr. Kelly today. Right when I knew it was with her I got chills, so did my mom as well. She's the dr that performed moms biopsy. Ever since then, whenever my mom sees her she would freak out. Lets just say it was a horrible experience with what looked like gallons of blood lost that day. 

She informed us that with moms cancer being aggressive, she would have to start more chemo after her last bratchy treatment. I felt as i lost all faith that moment. I couldn't help myself and tear just started coming. My mom took the news pretty good after speaking with her main dr, Dr. Anderson. Not sure if it was the way Kelly delivered the bad news. She felt more calm talking to him and him letting her know that after all this there's a good chance all the cancer will be killed. He said he couldn't promise it but there's a high chance it will be affective. I also felt calmer after he explained more. She then started to cry that she just wants all this to be over soon. He told her to keep positive and if she wanted she could even start working here till 30 yrs from now since she mentioned how much she missed working. I liked how he didn't rely on stupid statistics. 

She will have her last treatment in Sept for her last internal radiation. Few weeks later another CT scan will be made to determine the chemo and see where we stand. She then will more than likely start carboplatin and taxol the beginning of Oct. We can still have a miracle from here  till then in hopes of her being cancer free before this chemo. One can hope and pray.
