Chemo today

My mom has her first infusion today at 10:00am. I hope that all goes well for her. We attended the "Chemo" class yesterday afternoon and it was very informative and set us a little at ease. I have meetings this morning, so I won't be able to attend, but I'm okay with that. This whole thing has been rather hard for me to take, but I'm trying my best to live one day at a time. My mom sent me a lovely text early this morning. She is wonderful and that is what makes me the most emotional. I feel like my mom is always paying for a debt she never owed. She's had so many health problems over the years and now this. It's all so awful. During the chemo class I kept looking around the room at the patients and their family members and it all felt so sad. At the same time it was nice to see the patients laughing and in good spirits. Ugh. I just needed to get that off of my chest. Now off to my work meeting with my brave face on.
