The New Cycle Begins...

Today mom started her new treatment regiment. She is now only receiving 1 chemo drug with each visit to Community North. The morning and early afternoon flew by. The time she was required to be there has been cut in half with the treatment changes. Also, with all the changes, she now gets to decrease the amount of medications that she's been taking. Mom gets to cut out some of her nausea medicine, since she's no longer on the more aggressive chemo drug.

Her doctors continue to be very positive about mom's response to the treatments. They plan to continue to monitor her regularly. For now, she will receive chemo treatments every week. We are not sure yet about when or if she'll get to take another break from treatments.

Last week, mom really enjoyed the time off. She was able to spend a lot of time with friends. She got to go out to eat and even do a little shopping. As the week came to a close, she was able to join the family in an early Thanksgiving celebration.
