Hi everyone,
Sorry for the delay...the past week or so has been a bit hectic, so I haven't been able to get on and post anything.
A week ago yesterday (May 3rd), Mom finished her first cycle of the Sutent. She's been feeling up and down over the past week. The swelling in her legs seems to be okay if she has her feet up but once she starts walking around or standing, they swell up again. Her cough has gotten worse and she is now sleeping propped up on pillows to minimize the coughing at night so she can get more sleep. She will be going to see Dr. Baweja this Thursday 5/14 for another check up. Then she will start the next cycle of Sutent next week. Once she finishes the next cycle, she'll take 2 weeks off and then the plan will be to do another CT scan to see how things are going.
I think that's about it for the update. Chad and I made her and Sally a Mother's Day lunch yesterday -- BBQ pork chops, roasted garlic potatoes and baked/grilled asparagus. I have to say we did a pretty good job on it -- it was delicious. And, they enjoyed it...which was our goal.
As usual, if I've forgotten anything, I'll add it later...and I will update again after her appointment on Thursday.
Abby
