April 11: Three months after Mom’s major surgery up at Mayo, she is feeling good, had her last round of chemo, and got positive news from her recent cat-scan. We met with Dr. Diggs today, and he said that the radiologist who reviewed her cat scan said that they can’t find any signs of cancer. Yay!
She ended up having her last round of chemo today. When she went in to have it last week, they said that her white blood cell counts were too low. So nearly 11 months after discovering that nasty tumor, Mom is completing her last round of chemo on the clinical trial in which she was participating.
She is now in the process of trying to get enrolled in a new clinical trial at Northwestern University that would use a vaccine to fight any remaining cancer cells in her body. More about that when we hear back from Northwestern.
So Mom will probably be tired and a little under the weather this week, but it’s the last week, so that is great!
