1st Round, 3rd Week

Mom had her third chemo treatment today. Dr. Nichols stopped by to discuss her lab results and the news was good. The numbers (I can't remember specifically WHAT the numbers were called, only what they meant), showed that these initial treatments of the chemo are working. The numbers suggest that the tumor is starting to shrink a little:-) Also, her blood counts are not dropping at all. So far, so good.

She is still having side effects including the nausea and fatigue. But other than that, she is doing well.

I won't beable to go with her next week to chemo, because I'll be in Mexico:-) But Renae said she is planning on staying with Mom for that session. After that, Mom will get a two week break from the chemo before starting the 2nd round.
