Hello everyone! Just back from vacation with my mom and the rest of the immediate family. Spent a week on the beach in San Diego. My mother was tired in the beginning. She had chemo on Wed. and they drove over on that following Saturday...her worst day. But by Monday she was feeling much better. I did find from hanging out with my brothers and sister in law that I do get abbreviated information about her situation. I think that's because Mom chooses to keep some things from me because she knows how upset I will be and far away from her. For instance on her first dose of the topetecan someone screwed something up and her white blood cells were nil. Not nice to hear from your brothers wife that "they almost killed her". Also when the cancer came back it appeared to be in new places and my stepdad is freaking out and getting her all freaked out. But she started to research the Topetecan and how wonderful it has been since being introduced just last year and she is feeling positive again...so I'm holding on to that. Twithers...great news about your mom, I'm so happy for you. Her treatment really appears to be doing it's job. Just wondering where you all live? I"m in Denton Tx, Mom lives in Sedona, Az. I'll keep hoping for good news for all of us.
