Yes, we're still alive . . . for now, at least

Sorry for the delay, but there hasn't been much to say or report lately.

Mom was supposed to begin her chemo today, but she's being hospitalized right now.

She had her consultation with the doctor in charge of the chemo 2 weeks ago. At that time, the doctor told mom she hasn't completely cured from the surgery yet--and she also needed to gain weight (Mom is 5ft. 4in. [1.61 m.] tall and weighed 127 lbs. [57.6 kilos] that day).

In 2 weeks time, mom lost 15 lbs. (6.8 kilos).

It has been really difficult for mom to keep food down. It's been scary.

We were told of a place in Mexico (close to Monterrey) that has a cancer treatment center. A lady from the Hispanic church in Baltimore told mom about it. This lady had breast cancer, went and stayed there for about 6 weeks, and left completely cured. We want to see if mom can go there, but she needs to survive the month first. Oh Lord God, whatever it is, may Your will be done!
