treatment update

Mom and Dad met with Dr. Chan on friday. Mom will start a new chemo treatment (topotecan) on the 23rd of December. Her and dad will learn more about it on Thursday. It will be once a week for 3 months, with a week off every 3 weeks. And she will start radiation on the middle of her spine around the same time. Mom will also be taking zometa once a month to prevent the cancer from getting into her bones.

From the last post, I didn't include mom now has lesions on her lunges also.

We appreciate all the support, love and prayers.

CT scan results

For some reason this time after the ct scan, mom got the results in the mail. Turns out the Radiation did shrink the tumor, I don't know how much. But unfortunately the cancer has spread, mom has some lesions on her liver, spleen and spine. Mom has a doctor's appointment with Dr. Chan on friday. So we will have to wait and hear what he recommends for the next steps. Many more prayers and positive thoughts please, we really appreciate all the support.
