Rhonda's Breast Cancer Journey

The big joke with Momma was that Rhonda hated pink flamingos so she always got them for her.  When she started this journey, she decided that they would be her mascot since they made her think of Momma and also made her smile inside.  She called this her Pink Flamingo Strut.  Check out the bag that my Newborn Center friends filled with goodies for her to help her get through chemo days.

Chemo #1 has started.

They said day 14-15 her hair would fall out.  They were not wrong.  She was taking Taxotere and Cytoxan.  Dr. Thomas Ratliff said they were the most "gentle chemo drugs" for her type of cancer. 
Janice took her to chemo #2.



Daddy took her to Chemo #3

and I was there for the last chemo when she got to ring the bell. 

Congrats!!!  You did it!

This is a prayer of gratitude

They gave her an ornament that was donated by a church.  This just so happens to be Momma's life verse from when she had cancer.
She was ready to strut on out of there.  Surgery is done.  Chemotherapy is done.  Radiation starts in January.  Then this flamingo can strut on into the sunset.
