Day One

Day 1

Reading Her "Guide"

Today Grandma had her first chemotherapy session, unfortunately not at UCSF, but in Modesto, closer to home.  Cousin Anjelii and Grandpa were there today for support. 

Patient, yet nervously awaiting her first treatment, Grandma browsed through (yet again) her guide on what to expect.  This is a woman who has spent a total of 2 days (not counting her hysterectomy) in the hospital for childbirth. With that in mind, one can only imagine the anxiety she must be sensing. The kids and I sent her a few videos to help lift her spirits, since we couldn’t be there with her. Hopefully the videos, the good company, and her great TV Y Novelas Magazine helped pass the time. 

With only the feeling of nausea, and exhaustion from a long day, they were happily on their way home to rest. Anyone who knows Grandma knows how resilient of a woman she is. The next few weeks, dealing with her hair loss and physical strength, are proved to be challenging, but there isn’t a doubt in anyone’s mind that she won’t be tough and beautiful. 

All Smiles! : )

Her next treatment follows in a few weeks.  Please continue to send prayers, love, and support her way. And the meal sign up is up and running, so any help is always appreciated. 

No one fights alone….
