Well, I am a few days behind in posting this great news.......
Mom went to the doctor last week. We got the results of her latest CT scan. The doctor used the term "complete remission." Wow, we couldn't have asked for anything better. It was the best news that we could have gotten. In fact, it was Dad's birthday. I don't think he has ever gotten a better birthday present in his life.
What is next.... mom continues on her regiment of infusions every three weeks. She will also continue on the oral chemo (2 weeks on and 1 week off). Talking to the doctor, he didn't want to change something that we know is working. The medication is now for prevention of the cancer coming back. She will also continue periodic monitoring tests every few months to make sure that things are still going well.
Mom and dad plan on heading to Rainbow Village in Florida on their normal schedule. They will be flying down the first week in December to take in some of that nice Florida weather.
Mom has recovered remarkably well from surgery. She is feeling good and is back to many of her normal activities. She still goes in every couple of weeks to drain some excess fluid, but that is getting better too.
So, thanks for all of the prayers and support.
