7th chemo treatment

Mom met with Dr. Chan today. He is bringing the ct scan results to a board of tumor specialists to see what they think. I guess the ct showed the tumor had possibly grown by 10%, but after he did an exam, it felt like it was the same size as before. So mom is sheduled to have the 7th chemo treatment on thursday and with the same chemo meds as before. She is sounding pretty positive about it, her body has been handeling the chemo treatments, so two more treatments is totally fine.

ct scan update

mom didn't find out the CT scan results on Monday, because it was a holiday. Tuesday she found out that she would find out Thursday morning. Tonight she found out her white blood cell count is too low for a possible 7th chemo treatment, so she has a meeting with the doctor on Friday morning to discuss her CT scan results.

On a side note, my dad has been having some health issues. First a dog bit his hand a few weeks ago, now some other body parts have acted up from the antibotics so he went into the hospital for a procedure today.

Please prayers and good vibes for BOTH my parents.

(sorry for not keeping up the blog as much as I should be. I started a new job, and just had some of my fiance's family staying with us for the past few days. Needles to say, its been a crazy couple of weeks.)

date update

Mom's CT scan is this friday the 18th. And she will call on Monday to find the results of the scan.

update

Please send lots of positive energy for the ct scan on thursday at 1 pm pst!!!

Thanks so much!

6th chemo treatment today

Mom's white blood cell count is now up enough for her to have her 6th chemo treatment today. She has an appointment at 9:30 and hopes to be home by late afternoon. Thanks to Nancy C. for going with mom today! Many prayers this is mom's last chemo treatment, that the tumor will be gone.
