No chemotherapy treatment today.

After examining Mom, Dr. Aurora felt that she wasn't as strong as she should be to receive a treatment, and he recommended that we take a week off. We have a treatment scheduled for Tuesday, June 1. Dr. Aurora said that if necessary, we could even take two weeks off. It wouldn't make any difference in the effectiveness of the treatment, due to the overall amount that she has received to date.

We then discussed quantity v. quality of life again, and all agreed that we are going to have to make some decisions in the near future. Mom understands this and we talked, and she agreed that getting chemotherapy only to allow her to spend all her time wiped out and in bed isn't what she wants. We are probably nearing the point where the treatment could be as bad as the disease.

To be clear: We are not there yet, and we are not discontinuing treatment, but we are thinking about what the future holds.

Dr. Aurora is also concerned about spinal cord involvement, and has ordered an MRI to look at that.

Mom was comfortable with the decisions that were made today and seemed to be in a relaxed mood once we arrived back at their house.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, notes, and support. We certainly appreciate it.
