Chemo Chronicles-Cycle Two Day Five

Good news! Mom visited the doctor Friday for the first treatment in her second cycle of four. The blood tests showed that what was once a high level of Cancer in her system of 1900 is now 700! Without getting too technical, or even remembering all the medical jargon, the bottom line is she is responding to the chemo. Her doctor examined her and noted that her infected lymph nodes are already experiencing a surprising decrease in inflammation.

My sister, with her husband and their four month old daughter, was able to visit Mom last week. I hope she got as much out of it as I did.
