FINALLY! Good news for Mom AND Jim.
On Wednesday we went to Moffitt for Mom's mid-point check up. Dr. Pan is really happy with how well Mom is holding up during her double treatment. Receiving Chemo and Radiation at the same time can be a tough treatment to handle, but Mom is tolerating it with ease. She is getting out of the house often and feels pretty good for the most part. He also commended her for her upbeat outlook. He told her that his patients that remain positive, fight so much harder than the patients that don't remain positive. Mom needed that pat on the back. I know she tries so hard everyday to find the positives in all of this. His encouragement will help her continue. She has another appointment with Dr. Pan soon. We are looking forward to that appointment because Mom will get an MRI that will tell us how well her brain accepted the treatment.
On Thursday Jim got an excellent prospect on a job. Everything is not 100% final yet so we don't to talk about it too much and jinx it. However, we are ECSTATIC! We can't wait to get him home. Mom really misses him and he misses her. It just doesn't feel right to have her here and not him. I personally can't wait to get him home so we can go have a beer together. Daddy Daughter bonding at its finest :) They are now working on all the moving arrangements to hopefully have him home in the next couple of weeks. Knowing Jim is on his way will help Mom through her last two weeks of this phase of treatments.

Yea great news.Yes I agree completely with the positive attitude remark. I saw it all the time when I worked in Oncology. Yea about Jim getting to FL. That will help a lot and getting a job will make Jim feel better too. Keep fighting Bobbi we are all in your corner. Love Sharon
Hope Jim gets here soon! that's great news!
Still checking up on you Bobbi - sounds like you are quite the fighter and your family is so proud of you - keep up the good fight and glad to hear that your husband will be with you soon - can't imagine what you are going through and to do it without him must be very hard even though I know your girls and Mom are right there with you. Take care,
