Hey All,
We were all hoping for a cancer free diagnosis from the doctor today, but we didn't get it. What he did tell us though, is that she has had significant shrinkage of the cancer in her face. Which we are very happy to hear!! Of course, we are a little bummed, but how can you not be. We will all get into the mindset for the next two months of chemo. At least it is a lighter load. She has it once to twice a week, two spinals, and 2 treatments with 3 shots. It will be a tough, but easier than the last two months. He is giving her the next week off (thank goodness), then she will start on the following Monday with an IV chemo and spinal. We are still up in Portland tonight. I figured that after being up here this week and with all the stress, that we should get a good nights sleep before driving home.
Jess isn't feeling very well right now and is sound asleep in bed. She has had a belly ache and her muscles are sore. She has been through a lot in the past few days and I am sure that the stress hasn't helped. The doctor has mentioned that he might do radiation next time if he isn't happy with the results following the two months of (tough) chemo. Wow...anyhow the doctor has been happy so far with the results, so we will just take it one day at a time...I will let you know how she is doing tomorrow. Thank you so much for all the prayers and positive thoughts. Keep them up.
Love,
Cindi xoxoxo
Hey guys glad to hear about the shrinkage, i think that is a great possitive note, things are working and everyone is advising correctly. Thoughts and prayers always rest well and travel safely.
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't get all the way to remission yet. But I bet you'll get it next time.
ReplyDeleteIn researching ALL I found out that anyone can go to marrow.org and start the process to bone marrow donation. I'm thinking of doing it since I think it would be great to help save a life. Apparently, the process is not usually surgical...something I didn't know.
