Mom had her doctor's appointment today and we reviewed the results of the latest series of CT scans.

The scans showed no growth of the cancer (no shrinking, either) and Dr. Aurora indicated that he was happy with this as it showed that the cancer has stabilized. So while this may not be extraordinary news or even outstanding news, it was good news. Mom was happy with the results and excited to have "won" something again.

Now, what she has "won" is three more chemotherapy treatments with Taxotere. Dr. Aurora feels that this offers the best chance at continuing to keep the cancer stable and not growing.

So, we will have these three treatments over the course of the next ten weeks, culminating in another series of CT scans to see where things are.

Mom is doing okay physically. She actually gained weight since her last doctor visit. Don't let her find out I posted that. Her blood counts are good, her blood pressure is good, and she is not in any pain.

Mentally, her cognitive function continues to be about the same. Not much changes there except when she takes her steroids during her chemotherapy treatments. At that point, and for a few days afterwards, she is completely off her rocker. But we expect that, and the benefits outweigh the negatives.

We are now set for an infusion next Monday and we will continue with the program.

Thanks for all the support. We really do appreciate it.
