Quick update...

Hi everyone,

Mom was released from the hospital this morning and should be getting home shortly. The results from all of the tests were good -- no cancer in the spine, no blod clots in her legs and it appears that the Sutent is working as the CT scan showed no growth of any of the tumors. This is great news -- and a big relief.

They kept her last night to give her an IV push of the diuretic she was put on to get rid of more of the fluid in her legs. She told me this morning that she could see her ankle bones again, so that obviously worked well. She is just finishing up her last week of the first cycle of the Sutent and will then have 2 weeks off before starting the next cycle as it appears it is working well so far.

I will talk to her more later and find out any other information I may not have put in here...and as usual, if I forgot anything I'll add that too...

Abby
