Thank you once again ladies. Damiea, funny you mention the moon, as in our family we have often said that very thing about the moon whenever we are separated from each other.

Evie had a dreadful night, I gather she was up angry and crying for most of it, though both Jim and I were sound asleep and didn't learn of it until morning. To be honest, I wish she would have waked me. Jim did need to rest as he is driving her to the clinic again today, but I had no plans and I do wish she would have come to me. However she still feels she is a burden on us, and tries to give us space. The problem is, the times she thinks to give us space are the times she really needs us... and truthfully she is NOT a burden, we are quite accustomed to having her in our home now, she fits in quite nicely for the most part, and we would miss her if she were not here. I know I personally dread the day when she is well enough to venture out on her own again, I will be as sad as I was when my sons left home.

In any event, she and Jim have gone to the clinic once more, as Friday is Evie's weekly radiation treatment. This week was a bit much for her I believe, with two trips to the clinic rather than one. It appears she will be beginning chemotherapy treatments in a couple of weeks' time in addition to the radiation, and we are pushing for her to have both treatments on the same day, as well as any tests she may need. That may seem a bit much all at once, but the alternative is her going back and forth to the clinic 2-3 times weekly. I personally feel that would be worse and more stressful for her. If everything happens on one day, she has all week to prepare for that day, and the rest of the week to relax at home. If anyone here has input please share it, I feel it is a sensible course of action, but I could be mistaken, please let me know your opinions.
