She did it… chemo part one. The morning was long. Mom was dizzy, jittery and felt sick. This afternoon she was doing good and pulling strong. She has a nice army praying for her. Thank you.  Please keep her in your prayers for the days to follow. We rebuke anything that hinders her cheerful disposition.

Here we go. Mom starts chemo today from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

After today we will be posting only to facebook. The blog has been difficult to manage. At this time there are 115 people under moms face book update and it is much easier to manange.

We went to the oncologist today. The cancer is all over moms bones throughout her body. She will be doing chemo but it will be a lower dose than the original plan. This all depends on her liver count. Mom begins chemo Wednesday, April 27th. She will be taking two types of chemo. It is called caboplatin & paclitaxel. She will also take hercetin (antibody) in the IV as well. The process will take six hours. After three weeks, the doctor will recheck everything and we’ll see what the plan will be.

As you know the cancer has spread to mom’s bones (the whole spine not just the vertebraes). Also, she has had an infection from her port surgery. She did come out clean in that there is no cancer in her brain or lungs. Thank you Lord! Today ~ the Dr. said that mom’s liver is to shot to do chemo by IV. Please pray for healing of the liver. We meet with Dr. Williams in the morning to go over a new game plan. We are thinking about getting a second opinion in Seattle.
