Today's chemotherapy treatment went well for Mom. Her blood counts were good, and even though she was a "long way 'round the bend" mentally, she kept on smiling.

There does seem to be a correlation between the dexamethasone (steroid) that they give Mom to combat the nausea and her cognitive ability. Depending on who you talk to, either me or my Dad, the correlation is small to gigantic, respectively.

Her mental faculties should improve as the effects of the steroid lessen and hopefully in a day or two, she'll be closer to what counts as normal nowadays.

We really appreciate the continued thoughts and help that we are getting from everyone. There really is no way to adequately thank all of you for everything that you have done. We are humbled every day by the way people that are close to Mom come through.
