She’s been having a rough go at it and her symptoms are really kicking her ass, but I figured I’d try to spin this positively (especially since we got the news yesterday that her tumor markers are going down for the first time, so we’re in a celebratory mood). So ever since my mom started chemo I went from barely being able to be in the same house as her while she retched and threw up to being in the same room while looking away and covering my ears! And I can touch and comfort her afterwards too, whereas before I had a rule that I wouldn’t even use the toilet someone threw up in for a solid month lol. I know it isn’t a complete recovery but it’s more progress than I thought possible! I’m glad I can take better care of my mom this way, I already feel guilty enough making her instances of throwing up about me :’)
