No Chemo This Week

After a fun weekend at the lake with most of the fam, Momma was not exactly looking forward to her fifth chemo treatment yesterday morning. When she reluctantly went in to meet with Dr. C, she learned that she would get a little break after all! Her breast cancer marker 2729 is down this week to 60.1 (remember that it was in the 200s a month ago and 96.6 at her last chemo session). In lieu of chemo, she did a 30 minute drip of Herceptin followed by a CT scan to check-in on her liver. The scan results showed that her liver is still compromised but expected to regenerate over time. For the next several weeks Mom will go in for regular check-ups and Herceptin drips or pills, and if at any point she appears to be dragging, she'll do a chemo session then. As for now, she is enjoying a chemo-free week! As always, thank you so much for your continued thoughts and prayers and for being such an important part of Mom's healing process.
