Update on My Mom

Hello everyone! No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth but I have been remiss about posting lately. I do read posts as often as I can, but a number of things have occurred recently besides just having a hectic and busy life that has prevented me from getting on line as much as I would like.

Enough of the lame excuses, although they are real...even though you may not hear from me as often as I would like for you to hear from me, know that every day each and every one of you remains in my prayers and my prayers continue to be for a cure for this damn disease.

That being said, I just wanted you all to know that the results of mom’s latest scans were mixed. The nodule that appeared in December in her left lung, a new one, is indeed cancer which the Pet confirmed. So we have a new outbreak. But on the upside, it hasn’t grown any since December. Onc is waiting an additional two months to repeat scans and if there is growth, treatment program will be put into place. Mom remains asymptomatic and in good spirits, especially when the onc told her that there are still numerous options available to her. We’re all keeping our eyes on the road ahead and trying to jump the hurdles as they come…not always easy to do, but get’s more accustomed to as time goes by. No word yet on Bert’s scans…latest was his CEA was down to 2.5 and I’ll keep you all posted.

Hugs to all,
Monika
