6th Cycle Complete....Yea!!

Last week we got some good news. We got the results from another CT scan. The cancer is still stable. Yea!! We continue to give praise. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Today mom finished up her 6th cycle of chemo. Another yea!! We are so glad that everything has gone so well with these treatments.

Next week Mom gets an entire week off. And yet another yea!! She has no blood tests, CT scans, or chemo treatments. It's been a long time since she's had an entire week without any appointments. She's really looking forward to that time off to rest and spend time with family/friends.

Her oncologist is still planning to have her continue chemo treatments beginning on November 16. These treatments will be slightly different that the first round she completed today. Her previous treatments included two chemo drugs. This new round only includes one. And yet again another yea!! This is a yea, because the treatment days have gone from 6 hours long to 3. We are not yet sure how many cycles this round will include yet. She will continue to get regular CT scans again once this round has started.
