Today was the appt. with the radiation oncologist. It was pretty overwhelming for my mom. The oncologist seemed intelligent enough, but lacked a good bedside manner. My mom felt discouraged (even though Dad and I didn't!); however, we have no reason to think that radiation, coupled w/ the chemo, won't work their magic on these tumors. It's gonna be a hectic 7 weeks, Mom, but we're all here with you! You can do it! :) In the meantime, here are some quotes you need to read:
The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it. ~C.C. Scott
Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - always see them, for they're always there. ~Norman Vincent Peale
One must not forget that recovery is brought about not by the physician, but by the sick man himself. He heals himself, by his own power, exactly as he walks by means of his own power, or eats, or thinks, breathes or sleeps. ~Georg Groddeck, The Book of the It, 1923
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. ~Helen Keller
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
~Dr. Seuss
