Back home

In august 12, after a 14 hrs travel, we all are back to our home in Ohio.
After recovering from the time zone, the first bell rang, school was started already and mom was alone at home so I was concern about her most of the time.
The weekend before school started our parents told me and my brother what was going to happen from now to December...
Mom was going to have chemotherapy once a month, since she was going to be weak and she wasn't going to be able to do things, we all had to contribute doing something.
I need to be sincere with you (reader), I never ironed a t-short or pant, I never made laundry and I never cooked in my entire life, not that I didn't want to, but ,since my mom never worked, she had all the time to do those things.
This is why this period is going to be also very instructive...
After one week of school mom was visited by a doctor to see if everything was okay to start the therapy;
Everything was good but ,anyways, the doctor decided that chemo once a week was going to be more effective on preventing the recreation of the tumor.
She was down already because she was going through all this again, then  the doctor decision completely demolished her.
The 30 August she had her first cycle, it took seven hours to get through it, at the end she was tired, her face was white and her expression was lifeless, also if, most of the time, she kept a forced smile on her face.
She was trying to demonstrate that she was strong and she was going to make it, but listening to her crying from the closed door was more painful to us than it was for her.
