Treatment #11

Mom had a MRI of her liver on Tuesday morning.  The procedure went well, assuming you discount the leaking IV that got her side completely soaked.  The tech opted to continue the test since they were already half way done instead of having to start over after fixing the IV.  So, mom was just a bit wet by the end of the test, but at least they got good images.
We received the results this morning from the doctor.  I have to say that it was only good news.  All of the masses have strunk considerably, and there were no new masses detected.  The doctor indicated that she has responded very well to treatment.  The chemo treatments will continue as long as she is responding well and can tollerate them.  He didn't give us a number of additional treatments, but we are expecting that our weekly visits will continue for at least several more months.
Mom's biggest complaint regarding side effects are with her feet.  As the weather is getting warmer, it seems that her feet are getting colder (and a bit painful).  In fact, she just started wearing her winked warm winter slippers from LL Bean.  Dad will probably be saving a bit of money on air conditioning this summer.  Mom will probably turn the thermostat up a few degrees.
We are counting our blessings today!!
