Mom had her second treatment yesterday and did very well. Even though she had some of the same side-effects during the treatment, it took much less time and she was strong enough to go out to lunch afterwards! Her doctor talked with her before starting the IV, examined the small tumors on her scalp....and reported that they were beginning to clear-up and disappear! It's neat that we are beginning to see positive results already! She had a good night's sleep---which is a first all week---so that was great!
Today she had an elevated heart rate, some dizziness, and weakness...but spent the day just resting. Tonight she was able to go to dinner to celebrate my aunt Marilyn's birthday!
She is still a little dizzy....and fears the return of the strange "headache"---which starts on the back and side of her head and goes down her neck. It's more like 'pressure' than a typical headache. It scares her because she fears having a stroke.
Thank you for your prayers for her during this time. We praise the Lord for His grace and mercy on her behalf!
