Some good news! YAY! The CT scan showed good results...actually great results. The scan showed a reduction in the number of tumors on her liver and some of the larger tumors are smaller. These results are better than expected. We are so thankful. Mom is overwhelmed and waiting to be too happy until Monday when she sees the oncologist (her family doctor discussed the results on Friday so she just wants to be sure) and will get to discuss how they describe the progress so far based on the results of her scan.
Thank you for all of your prayers and encouragement to Mom. She goes on Monday to continue the treatments she has been getting and will likely continue for another 6-8 more cycles (so 12 more weeks). She will know more on Monday after her appointment.
Please pray for God's healing and for the side effects of the chemo to not progress to anything new. Mom's body really has 'taken' to the treatments well, and we want this treatment to continue the way it has for as long as possible.
