From Mom

Just a quick update here. I finally got the report comparing the old CAT scan to the recent PET scan. I seems the cancer is responding to the current chemo, so no changes. I had #4 today. 2 more to go. I feel more awake this eve than I usually do after chemo.
Also I did some checking on my oxygen levels. They were pretty good most of the time without oxygen on, but with activity I was still huffing and puffing some. I don't think I'm ready to go without yet, but maybe it's a possibility. I'll wait awhile before I ask for an official check.
God continues to give me peace about all this. That He is caring for me and knows His plans for me and that they are good plans.I did have to commit it to Him more than once during the week that I was in the dark about the report. I really hate not knowing things.

no chemo today

Hi all--here is an e-mail mom sent out about her chemo today. Just got back from the hospital. No Chemo today. The radiologist has not read the PET scan yet, so don't really know where we stand. This is my 1st PET and he needs to compare it to a CAT from before. They delated the Chemo mostly because of my mouth sores. They must be more of a problem than I thought. They don't bother me so much but they don't like to heal. Scheduled for next Wed. instead.
