radiology appointment update

Thanks to Cindy (mom's friend) for bringing up the possibility of Mills Hospital and for my dad being at mt zion hospital today and bugging sunshine (dr. chan's receptionist) Mom has an initial appointment with the radiology doc at Mills (san mateo) for this Friday and possibly starting treatment late next week....depending on the set-up and paperwork. We are so very happy mom doesn't have to wait as long.

next step

Mom and Dad met with Dr. Chan today. He says the tumor has grown and is pressing on the bowel. Mom had 4 options, she and dad went with Radiation. They will have a meeting with a radiologist on September 9th. From there we will find out when she starts Radiation, it will be 25 treatments. 5 a week for 5 weeks. Thank you for all the support.

update

Mom went in for her Avastin treatment today. She told the doctor everything that has been going on (uncomfortable, hospital, etc) and they decided its best if she didn't have another Avastin treatment. Mom has a doctors appointment with her primary doctor on friday and then another appointment with Dr. Chan on the 19. We'll have to wait and see what they say.

mom is home

Mom got to go home yesterday (sunday). She is feeling even better today and has more energy.
