Phase 3 Has Begun - October 1st

The journey continues and it’s apparent the medical team saved the ‘best for last”

Beth started her daily radiation October 1st and that will continue thru November 17th… Beth insists it pretty quick “only 10 minutes” she says… but we all know how long 10 minutes can be… We're so glad she got her wish and goes quite close to home and work in Mansfield for her radiation; so that’s a tremendous advantage – anything to avoid going into Boston…

And then Friday October 2nd she began the Herceptin – which will continue every 3 weeks for 9 months – and again she’s quick to say “but it’s only a 30 minute infusion”…

Beth continues to smile and be strong for everyone, especially Devon and Hayden. But she’s finally admitting that’s it’s not so easy and can be quite uncomfortable.. She’s been having horrible pain in her hands and feet, along with very uncomfortable muscle pain in her legs and arms – all of which I from the neuropathy and of course now that tell her, it will get worse before it get’s better. Hopefully the new meds will help offset it some…

And of course we have to end with some exciting news – Beth is shopping for another “wig” “Amanda” as she loving named her first, has just about had it, so Beth has decided to be quite stylish and she’s going to choose something shorter this time… it’s been a lot of years since she’s had short hair, so she’s going to start getting used to the change preparing for all that new hair that will begin to grow in before long…

Devon, Hayden, Beth’s nieces and nephews keep her busy for sure and with school, homework, special activities, Halloween and so many other fall events approaching – it’s easy to see why she smiles… Your prayers and special thoughts are so very important – so we’re thrilled that you continue to keep Beth and her family in your prayers – for that we are all forever grateful…
