the end is near...hallelujah!

Mom went for her last treatment this past Tuesday.  No, it's not over yet, but knowing this was her last Chemo treatment with no complications, was a big sigh of relief. I made her a little sign to hold to celebrate.

A little history to explain the next picture.  Our first treatment, we were shown a wooden chair covered in buttons....of all shapes and sizes.  The nurse explained that it represented each person that had undergone Chemo.  A few weeks later, the chair was gone, which she explained belonged to the Charlotte office, but they would be starting a button chair of their own to be housed in Lincolnton.  So, Mom was instructed to bring in a button.  She chose one of her Dad's buttons from one of his shirts that was her favorite. She said she didn't realize how small he was until she looked at his shirt that she hadn't seen is so long. :)   

My quick attempt at my first "ombre" for her celebration cake :)  The purple seemed to be more of a grayish color which was odd...but, oh well..Mom thought it was great :)

The next step is to get through the effects from the last treatment, then begin radiation for the next 6 weeks.  This is everyday, Monday thru Friday.  Thanks again for all the prayers- she has made it through a lot and continues to need your prayers.  Way to go Mom!
