Well we had a very good day today. We met with the radiation oncologist this morning and mom's MRI of her brain came back normal. So they staged her cancer limited small cell. We go back Monday for the 3D scan so the 24th she can start her radiation treatments. That will be 5 days a week for 6 weeks and she will go in for chemo every 3rd Tuesday for 6 courses.

My mom broke down and cried at the doctors office when we got the results from her MRI, and survival numbers. We are planning a 2 1/2 week vacation in June to go out west to the Grand Canyon and into California and she is looking forward to going. She would like to see the Grand Canyon and the ocean before she dies.

The doctor was willing to work with us on her radiation to make sure she is finished so she can go with us. She thought that would be a good idea to have something for her to look forward to. A big weight has been lifted and I think we will all get a good nights sleep tonight...Jess
