Well, it's been two months since the last update - which - falling into the "no news is good news camp" should give you an indication of how things have been going.
Beverly and her family spent a good week over Thanksgiving together in Edisto Island, South Carolina. They rented a house on the beach and just relaxed, ate, played in the sand, rode bikes, and generally enjoyed their time together. She enjoyed a good birthday at the end of the month, and then the whirlwind of Christmas and the New Year where she spent time with the girls and really enjoyed presents and princess movies with them!
On January 6, she had another return visit - and this was the first one where we'd get an indication of how treatment is going. Well, it's going VERY well!!!! The tumor is not growing - it is stable, which means the chemo is doing its job as the radiation did its job last fall!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!! So that means round three of chemo starts next week - only 5 days and only pills, so no fun rush hour drives to Emory. We're all pretty darned happy about this news!!
Bev has exercised her rights as an adult and has stayed by herself a night or two here and there, and has really, really loved that. Her independent streak is alive and well, if anyone was in doubt about that. She's definitely eating better too, so maybe even going to put some weight back on!
Next update when something interesting happens. Thanks for all the ongoing prayers, phone calls, and support!!
