I'm mom-sitting this morning while Dad goes to a doctor's appointment.

Mom is doing okay, at least physically. She's tired and fatigued, but all this is to be expected as a result of the chemotherapy.

I arranged to have a nurse and home-health aid come by every so often to try and help out a little bit and give my Dad a break. The nurse can do blood work, which would help us alleviate one trip to the doctor's office.  The home-health aid is going to help with ADLs (activities of daily living) such as baths and the like. I hope it works out like it should.

Mom's cognitive ability is about the same. She continues to have issues with short-term memory and basic recollection, but I can still communicate with her pretty well. Probably easier than Dad at this point.

Monday, 22 March will be our next chemotherapy treatment. After that treatment, Dr. Aurora wants to take some additional scans to gauge progress.
