We are back from chemo today.
Today was the completion of round 2, the last and 6th session for now; no more chemo for at least two weeks.
Next week is a week off from chemo, though mom has several other appointments, including the ct scan to measure if the tumor shrank.
Yesterdays labs included some encouraging news: the CA 19-9 showed a decrease in cancer cells for the first time; up until this week the cells had increased every week. Last week the CA 19-9 slowed significantly and only rose a little, and this week it dropped 20%. It was very encouraging as we were all feeling the burnout.
Two weeks from today we will meet with mom’s oncologist to review all the lab numbers as well as the ct scan, evaluate how much progress has been made, and map out Mom’s options moving forward.
It’s been an emotional roller coaster recently, and now it feels like a moment for all of us to catch our breath.
Thanks for your continued care, support, and prayers.
