Mom met with new doctor

The doctor is wonderful! He suggested no surgery. He is going to start her on: XELOSA (pills); Avastin; CPT11 (chemo); eribitix (which she is already on). Other than her cancer he said that she is in good health. Mom's gonna do it. He gave her some hope. Although this isn't going to cure it hopefully it will give her some more years. I just hope she can tolerate all of this. Still need prayers.

    Hoping for the best
    I'm hoping for the best for your mom. It is so good she is in good health already...I think that does help when getting treatment. How young is your mom? Keep us posted.

    Awesome! How can we expect
    Awesome! How can we expect anyone to give it their all if they don't have a dr that will encourage them? I am so glad she found someone that doesn't want to just tell her to "enjoy what she has" (that's what my husband's first dr told us). I am very happy for you. :)
