Another week down and more to come. Mom had a really good week. She didn't have a chemo treatment last week and it was really evident in her energy level this last week.
The news did a good job of promoting a new breast cancer drug this last week. If you didn't see the news, it is a targeted chemo treatment. The drug attaches to the tumor before it releases into the system. So, only cancer cells are attacked by the chemo. The chemo doesn't attack the healthy cells in the body, thus reducing side effects. The drug trials were very positive and it looks like this may be the next generation of cancer fighting. The doctor said that mom would be a candidate for this type of treatment. He anticipates that the new drug will be on the market in 3-6 months. So, we continue on the course that we are on.
