Better Not to Have Mentioned It?

Happy as we were to tell everyone that the Berlin mom, even in the midst of her 4th round of chemo, had not even had a hint of nausea, I can only wonder if we shouldn't have bragged so much about her. Thursday she threw up and couldn't keep anything down that day and the next, but then the chemo was over, which was when she informed us of this new aspect, Friday evening, and since Saturday she's been eating again without complaints. Now, of course, she's a bit more apprehensive about the coming final two sessions, expecting this difficulty on top of her loss of any sense of smell and the imposition on her schedule. Maybe we just won't speak of it again. But yesterday, she insisted on cooking us a great lunch and gobbled it up with us, so, we'll just keep counting on her will and fortitude to get her through to the end of her last IV-bottle without further malaise.
We WILL go on PRAISING her!

  1. Cheers for Edith! for her spirit and (I'm sure!) smile in the face of the yukkiness of this trial. I know she'll persevere!
