Sorry, I have been meaning to make an update for days...
We have had another round of fluids pumped into her and a host of Doctor appointments (Oncologists, Chemo, Palliative Care, Physical Therapist) since the last post and another visit from family. Our dance card is pretty full these days.
Mom has had some good days and bad days, but no drastic changes either way.
We are scheduled to do another round of chemo this week, but there is concern from her doc that she isn't strong enough to do the full chemo program... so that would mean either lowering the dosage, or stopping until she is strong enough.
We continue to struggle with the lack of appetite and not drinking enough. With every weigh-in, she is losing weight and slowly getting weaker. It's not what the doctors want to see when starting a chemo program.
I will post again Thursday or Friday with an update about chemo status and the plan going forward.
