Thrush and Genetetic Testing

Today is Tuesday, a full week after chemo. Today is the first day mom has actually really been out of the house and has done stuff. She was able to go to the store with her mom and get some grocery shopping done, and went to an appointment. Her appointment was to pick up the results of her genetic testing to see whether she was a carrier of breast cancer or not. She got majority of the results back today, and so far, she is not a carrier. This is great news. This means that she has a very slim chance of getting breast cancer a second time, and it is easier to deal with. We are very greatful to hear this. It is also more safe for Kels and me in our chances of recieving breast cancer. New topic: Thrush. Thrush is a condition in which white gross fungus grows on your tounge. It can be very painful and alter your taste buds greatly. This is what my mom has been dealing with. Her tounge was pure white pretty much and it was spreading to her cheecks and the back of her mouth. It has made the past couple days pretty miserable for her. Apparently when your healthy, its a minor thing to have. But, when you have a weak immune system like she does thanks to the chemo, its a lot worse. So, Sunday they called the doctors and got medicine for it. Now, it is getting better and she started to eat normal today. She is making aso much progress :) No work for the rest of the week, but you can tell she is a lot better. Her goal tonight is just to sleep through the night. She has not let herself sleep today in hopes of that. Prayers for a good night sleep and good results on the rest of her genetic tests are appreciated. Have a great night everybody.
