It is time for an update. The day after I left, mom's BFF came in. So far, mom has continued the normal routine of treatment although had her second round of Avastin (w/hydration) last week. So far, she has not felt too sick from the Avastin/Tykerb/Cisplatin and radiation... just very tired. Unfortunately, the pain she has been experiencing has only gotten worse. With radiation, the hope is that the tumors pressing on those sensory fibers will shrink enough to alleviate most of that pain. Dr. Moon wants her to stay an addtional 1.5 - 2 weeks. The good news is that mom found a Baskin Robbins and it's inside of Home Plus of all places. I would like to know WHY I didn't see it while I was there. Even in 6 degree weather, it would have been nice to have a Rocky Road pig-out. Mom, go get yourself some more ice cream (remember there is a freezer under the fridge) and try to hang in there. You can do this.
