Took mom to her infusion today and she did great!! She looks better than she has in months. She is perky and sharp too. Anyway, here we are, dad, mom, Ken and I in the waiting room with 4 others and we all got to talking and laughing so hard that the nurse peeks her head in and says - "Gee, if I knew there was going to be a party, I'd have brought champagne!!" LOL! It was actually fun sitting in the dang waiting room laughing with complete strangers- some there to get cancer treatment!!! Then this other couple came in and joined us. I had a hard time NOT laughing! I have quite a loud laugh, so I kept my hand over my mouth! It sure brightened up everyones mood to just talk and laugh - even though we never met before! We were telling stories and I could feel the positive vibes in the room. It was infectious! As we were leaving in our cars, we're all waving! HAH! A positive attitude is everything and if you are up to it, my advice is to remain as positive as possible!

When we got to moms, she showed us this cute graduation paper she got from the cancer center - all the staff had signed it! It was really sweet. My dad is going to donate some money. He said they couldn't be nicer at the center. So its been a pretty good day for mom!! :)

Beyond wonderful!

There is a lady that grew up with Mother.  She has cancer.  They are doing no treatments as they say it has gone too far.  They gave her less than a week to live.  That was a couple of months ago.  She is still living.  And right now, doing better than she was a month before they only gave her a week.

There is another lady in the community.  Her sister has cancer.  They sent her home about 10 days ago with 72 hours to live.  Guess what?  She is planning  a party tomorrow night.  She had one last Saturday night too.   

A friend and I were talking about these ladies today.  I told her that doctors can say ''NO WAY'', but GOD says, ''MY WAY''.

I know your mother is no where near where these two ladies are, PRAISE THE LORD!  I am so thankful for her good days and the time you are having with your parents. 

I was watching Joyce Meyers tonight.  Her talk was on happiness.  She says we have to make a mental decision to be happy.  Regardless of the circunstances, we can have joy.  Not giggle, giggle, but peace and joy in the Lord.  It is our choice.

I am so happy you are finding some peace and happy moments/days through all of this.  Tuck every day like this securely away in your treasure box of memories!

What an awesome story.  I'm so glad you had a positive day - I agree it makes a world of difference.  Maybe you'll all draw strength from one another and who knows, maybe make some friends along the way!

    Hey Kat, I wanted to know I have been thinking about you a lot. I have not responded to very many of your posts concerning your mom and I apologize. I am working with some very difficult court cases right now so by the end of the day I am looking to veg, or some dribble.
    I do care though. Take care of yourself.

  • Oh Lisa, no need for an apology!! I know you care. Thank you!! :) Kat

    Kat thanks for sharing such a great story with us.  You know what jumped out at me the most?  That you parents were sharing this with you & Ken - I am so glad that your mum is doing well & how awesome that her spirits are so high...thanks for sharing....nics

  • Thank you Nics!! I'll tell you - my dad wouldn't share much but he needs Ken to drive them(which we both are more than happy to do!) because of the parking in San Rafael. He doesn't like leaving mom at the door and then trying to find a place to park. BUT, little by little, they ARE allowing us IN. :) Kat
