Saturday-Happy news!

Yesterday was exhausting but we did get good news. The radiologist Dr. Crawford showed us the x-rays of mom's lung and it is much clearer now than it was, so it is opening up for her to breathe better. He gave mom the option to wait on doing more radiation or going ahead with more, the benefit to continuing it was making sure it remained clear. Mom said do whatever you gotta do! So we have more markings for radiation scheduled, followed by actual radiation. The oncologist Dr. Razia tested her white blood cell count and it was fine, so that was more good news. Razia set up her next chemo which will be in less than 2 weeks. She will be doing it in utica right at slocum dickson. Mom is getting some more side effects more sores and thrush, I believe that was from chemo. She also has a very sore throat from the radiation but she has this cool new medicine for that which she can take 3 x a day.
