As I mentioned in my last post, mom is currently using a ‘spicy’ mix of chemo. The plan is to have 5 rounds of this nasty stuff before the next meeting with Dr. Zakari.

This is probably one of the worst treatments I’ve seen my mom go through. She started this mix just days before Madison’s wedding and was able to perform the ceremony beautifully. This mix has made her incredibly sick and tired. I honestly do not know how she manages to do this. After the first 2 rounds, they dropped it down 20% in hopes of it helping and it has done little to improve.  She has 1 more round this week before getting a CAT scan done.

July 16th is her next appointment with Dr. Zakari. The purpose is to discuss further treatment options, possible immunotherapy treatments, clinical trials, etc.  We all hope for some positive news as this last round has really brought her spirits down. She needs all the positive energy and strength at this time.
