Quick update today .. more to come.

Mom had another scan to check her progress last week and received the results on Monday at her regular chemotherapy appointment.  As most of you know, Mom continues every other Monday with her chemo-treatments ... same formula and process since they changed in September '09 (yes, she's been at this for almost 1.5 years).

Back to the update, I've been struggling to write this as it seems as though the results of the latest scan are a little unclear.  Most of the tumors on her liver are the same size and some a little smaller which is GREAT news, but it appears according to the radiologist and a seemingly confused oncologist that one of the tumors has grown in size.  First response from the oncologist (via the radiologist report) explained that one of the tumors has grown slightly and by the end of the appointment (after double checking w/ the oncologist and the oncologist following up w/ the radiologist who reported on Mom's scan) that one of the tumors doubled in size (growth was a ~ 1/2 inch).  But, they didn't make any change in the treatment, she still continues on the same maintenance plan.   

It's making all of us a little uneasy on sitting and waiting to see if it grows more (why wait right?).  She decided she is going back in next Monday just for an appointment with the oncologist to discuss further and ask more questions to understand the recommended protocol.  It will be a different oncologist next Monday so it will be good to hear a 2nd opinion.  More to come.  More prayers.  More Support.  More PRAYERS!
