Today Michael and I accompanied his daughter-in-law, the mother of our two wonderful older grandchildren, Lonn’s wife and my friend to Billings to begin her first chemo treatment. LoraLee is one of the strongest, most positive people I have ever met and if anyone can beat this disease it will be LoraLee. She came through with flying colors this morning and we all learned a whole lot about chemo we never knew before! Her oldest daughter Katie was with us too.
The cancer treatment center at Billings Clinic is awesome—beautiful building and beautiful staff. LoraLee and her entourage were treated with all the kindness and professionalism in the world. There were lots of lighter moments this morning when LoraLee received good positive results from her MRI and when the nurse asked her if she drank alcohol. Katie and I burst out laughing giving the nurse the impression that LoraLee was a person who loved alcohol. Nothing could be farther from the truth—we call LoraLee our light weight drinker—one drink is way more than enough for her usually!
So, we watched one courageous woman began her fight against cancer today!
