As for my mom's status, she completed her third dose of chemo last Wednesday and we've found that each dose is compiling and not giving her much relief in between. She has been told that her last dose on April 1st (April fools day!), will stay in her body for about 4 weeks afterwards. She is struggling a bit now with feeling optimistic, and I think the last leg of this battle will be hard for her. Because of the circumstances that occured after my mom's diagnosis, she will be closing her business for good in the coming weeks. As you may guess this is very hard for my mom to accept. She has taken pride in growing her business for many years and this is a stage of her life that will be hard to say goodbye to. Any words of encouragement you'd like to send her via the blog or in another manner will be greatly appreciated! I personally believe the next chapter of my mom's life will be the most rewarding and exciting for her. When my mom ran her businesses, she rarely had time to visit with family, especially her grandbabies. That was always hard for her, so I think wherever the future leads her, it will be closer to her family. Have faith mom!
Here is a scripture that I may for my mom today:
Mark 11:22-24
And Jesus answered them, Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown ino the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you received it, and it will be yours.
This is also what I give to my mom today to cheer her up:

As usual your journal entry makes me cry. You're right Em, the next phase of your mom's life is going to be very exciting and rewarding.
Love you Teresa - sorry your chemo is kicking your butt.
It will be worth it - stay strong!
