We met with her Neuropsychiatrist - this is the doctor that cured her of the head movements about 3 years ago. I updated him on her treatments and told him how a month ago she didn't want to do the radiation to her head. But ended up doing it more for my dad than for herself. And he point-blank asked her if she was ready to quit and die. To my surprise, she said no! She wasn't ready to quit and will wait until she gets the results from the CT scan next week to make a decision. Wow! She is still fighting despite the pain and other side effects from the head radiation.
While that is so amazing to hear, I barely held back the tears. Just knowing the pain she endures daily and she says that? Talk about being brave and tough....well, it was a beautiful night and I told her I would take her to satisfy her cravings of raw cherrystones. So I wheeled her over to Fanueil Hall and we watched some kids break-dancing. Mom was bopping her head, clapping and even cheered a few times. She said she really enjoyed it. Then we sat out and had dinner. Mom said she hasn't been to Fanueil Hall in years. See how happy she was eating her cherrystones!
