My mom finished her first and most serious round of treatment for brain cancer in late July. Her first post-treatment MRI was clear and she is feeling better if not great. The best part for me is that I have been having my most “normal” conversations with her for many months. She’ll start the first of what is meant to be 6 monthly additional chemo rounds in 2 weeks, but she is far stronger than she was for the first round (when she was also having radiation) and making plans to go south for the winter.
