the second big day

mom found out today that she'll start radiation dec. 21 and finish feb. 7 (mike's bday and the day she goes live on a new billing system at work).

it's a little later than she had hoped but still ok. she's still planning to go on vacation in mexico w/dad and other friends of theirs in february.

her spirits about the whole thing remain high. mom said she'll crack open champagne when she's done w/treatment. i think we have enough to toast by xmas.
