Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the mothers and gramas this weekend! For us the weekend was bitter-sweet. The sweet part: I finished my last chemo treatment on Thursday (yeah), our son was home for a very nice visit and we managed to get some long overdue visiting in with some of the relatives. Very nice!
The bitter part: on Saturday there was a graveside funeral service for my husband's younger sister who passed away from cancer November after a brief stay in palliative care. By the time the cancer was found, it had metastasized all throughout her body even though she had been treated by the same family physician for number of years. I can not comprehend this. There are so many diagnostic tools available. How could this possibly have been missed? It is just tragic beyond words.
Back tomorrow with a recipe and then other, much needed, more pleasant topics for a while!
