Mom started her second round of chemo on Monday. Her dosage was decreased this week, so we’re hoping that the side effects (which should really start manifesting themselves this weekend) will be less severe. She’s going in to the clinic every morning for 2-3 hours of infusions. Then she has a little machine she carries around with her that gives her a continuous infusion all week.
She continues to feel good this week, and after her final treatment on Friday, she has three weeks off before she begins six weeks of radiation combined with continuous infusion of the 5-FU chemo drug. Her brother came up from Texas to visit, and they had a fun time traveling around to neighborhoods where they grew up together. That’s the update for now!
