Doctor visit

Went to the doctor today.

He said there is nothing more he can do for her at this time.

We are going to take it a day at a time, but don't be surprised if she pulls through!

She is a tough cookie!

We are going to get her hooked up to an IV at home and hopefully she will get stronger and a little fatter!

Time will tell.  Think positive thoughts.

Not doing so well

Things aren't going too well.  She seems to be getting a little worse each day.  Please send your prayers her way!

Hangin in there!

Not MUCH new to report. She is just kind of hanging in there and doing her thing! Right now she is not having any treatments, but she does have a lot of pain and spends the majority of her day resting.

She liver function is not great and she is getting her abdomen drained every couple of weeks. In fact she went this morning.

I wish I had more to report, but I am glad that I don't.

Thanks everyone for thinking of her and praying for her. It helps!

surgery a no go...

Wednesday was supposed to be another round of chemo in the liver. She went the night before and got her MRI and then I took her to Huntsman for the scheduled procedure. When we got there they didn't have her scheduled, which was weird, but she hadn't had bloodwork yet, so we figured it was cause of that.

I left her there (carpool) and as soon as I got home she called me to come and get her. The doctor decided to wait on it until June... we think he had plans or something (Doctors+Huntsman=frustration) and wanted to push it off.

So for now she gets to keep feeling good and enjoy the nice Spring weather. She will go back the first week of June for another treatment, and this could be done every few months to treat her liver.

Doing really well!

This was taken on April 30th at Carsons babtism. She is feeling really good and trying to decide if she wants to do another round of chemo.

More liver chemo

Last Thursday she was back up at Huntsman for another round of chemo in her liver. The surgery was quick and went really well.

Hopefully this will be the last time she has to do this, but if not it really isn't too bad. I guess that is coming from me, she probably would disagree, but I just mean compared to some of the other things she has had to do!

She is now feeling great. She has been awake all day today, and believe me that is a huge deal!

Watch for her around town, you might even start to see her with some hair soon! WOO HOO!

Test results

Last night a CT scan was performed on her liver. It looks like the previous chemo that was put in did not get all of the cancer. It did get some, which is good, but he would like to go in again and place some more in the spots that still have tumor and try to shut off the blood supply to those spots.

He said that her liver does not have defined tumors but more just cancer all around and that is why it is harder to get it all at once.

Luckily her liver function is good enough to perform this surgery. It is scheduled for 4/7, but it might happen sooner!
