Mom finished her second cycle of chemo on Monday. Mom really appreciates all of the nurses and doctors that are taking care of her. They are wonderful at making her feel comfortable and at ease. Mom feels like she's getting to know many of them now and really enjoys talking with them. This is not a surprise to many I'm sure. Mom loves to talk to new people, so these treatments have been a great opportunity for her to do so.
At her treatment, mom did mention that she'd been feeling short of breathe and had been feeling dizzy at times, so the doctors decided to run a blood test to check her for anemia(which is a decrease in the normal number of red blood cells). I guess there is some medication that they'll give her if the tests do come back showing that she does have anemia. We should know more at her next treatment.
Her next cycle begins on August 24. The doctors also mentioned that she may have another CT scan sometime after this third cycle to determine whether or not the treatment is working.
Again, we want to thank all of you for your prayers and ask that you keep them up. :)
Mom also wants to express her appreciation for the cards, phone calls, and visits. They have been a great encouragement to her. She loves all of you.
