CLL is incurable. Once treated with chemo therapy there will be a relapse, which means more treatment. Each time it is treated the remission periods are shorter with reduced quality of life. The medical scientists are looking for better treatment for the disease. For now, Mom is one of many people who are into their second treatment. The drugs available now are better than what she had two years ago. Although she feels worse than she did two years ago with nausea being the most difficult and sleeplessness a close second.
Today Mom came home in better spirits than yesterday. It is a better day today than yesterday and hopefully the trend will continue. Mom and Dad don't have any plans this weekend other than letting Mom rest. That's cool for Lou and me because we love hanging out by the pool with Mom. The pluot tree is starting to ripen and there are lots of tomatoes on the vines that are sweet. It will be a good weekend.
