So, last week my mom had her first appointment with her oncologist, we thought we would be getting her chemo/radiation schedule then and were anxious to get it all started! Much to our dismay she was told that she would need a PET scan to be sure the cancer did not spread to her bones or anywhere else. While I stayed very positive, I couldn't help but to be a bit annoyed and scared, "why can't this be over with?" "why didn't they do this test in Pittsburgh when we found out about the other spots of cancer?!" It was just another bump in the road which of course we know we were and are in for. So as we anxiously and nervously awaited this scan which was this past Monday we had to wait some more to get the results today. Yet again we have been blessed and the power of prayer has come through again!!! The scan was clear!!!!!
Now she will be going to Pittsburgh within the next week or so to get the radiation to the spot of her brain where the tumor was removed and that will be it, as far as the brain goes. Then she will start a pretty hardcore dose of radiation and chemo to her lung. She will have radiation every day (approx. 10-15 min. long) for possibly 2 weeks and chemo once a week for 5 weeks. After this treatment she will get yet another scan and if it looks like the treatment worked and was shrinking the tumor they will do a milder dose of chemo until it is gone!
We appreciate everyone's continued love, support and prayers....keep it up!
God is good!
P.s....Mom, don't kill me for this picture haha, I couldn't resist!!! ;)
The "r" is his favorite!
It's so cute,when he doesn't get one in quite right he'll say, "noooooo".
Finally, when he's done he'll sit on it or stand on it or just carry it somewhere else. (Of course he had to pose for me!)
Took a time out to "cheeeese" for mommy!
And Uncle Zach thought it was hilarious of course!!!
