Another Day Another Dr.

Hi all. We went to the doctor on Tuesday and Mom got her chest tube out. Dad commented that that was the 1st Doctor's appointment with good news. I said that maybe I should go to more! Today we went to the chemotherapy doctor. He was very straight forward and upbeat. Mom is going in tomorrow to get a catheter in her lung because more fluid seems to building up. She is getting a CT scan 1st to make sure. She will start chemo next Wednesday and have one dose every three weeks. The doctor reminded us that this is not a cure but a help. I appreciated what he had to say and was glad I was there. Hopefully her body will react well to the chemo and she won't get too sick. Thank you for all the well-wishes and prayers!
