Mom had her Cat Scan results yesterday. The spots on her liver are expanding but fortunately the tumor on the Pancreas is about the same. Since the spots on her liver haven’t moved until now, Dr. Zakari has decided to change up her Chemo starting now. Instead of every 2 weeks with a 48 hour pump, she will now have Chemo 3 weeks in a row with 1 week off. There will no longer be the take home pump (which she is happy about!). The Chemo is supposed to be less taxing on her body so we hope when she is on the treatment she will not feel as sick or exhausted.
So this week she is off recovering. Next week begins the new treatment and plan. We are not sure how long she will be on this regime but we know she is incredibly strong and a fighter! xo
We celebrated Thanksgiving this year at my Mom’s house. Mom had Chemo the day before and we were worried that she wouldn’t feel up to celebrating. It was amazing to see how much energy she had. In typical Mom fashion she was all over the kitchen making sure my Dad and I were cooking, cutting and setting things out correctly. I think Dad and I told her to sit down 15 times ;).
Mom had her last Cat Scan on October 5th. Dad, Mom and I met with Dr. Zakari on the 9th and learned the results show ‘stable’. This means the tumor in the Pancreas has not grown or shrunk at that time. The same results came in for the tumors on the liver.
Yesterday Mom, Dad and I met with Dr. Zakari to go over the official results of the Cat Scan and determine the next course of treatment.
