Patience is a Virtue

Unfortunately...

Because we're all going to have to be extra patient to get Mom's CT scan results back. She had her 6-week scan yesterday, and we won't have the official read until Monday. As always as soon as we hear, I'll post asap.

Over all she's been doing really well. The fatigue is the worst side effect of all. For someone who is a mover and a shaker, it hasn't been easy for Mom to balance work with rest, but not for lack of trying. There have been a few bouts of nausea here and there, but otherwise her white blood cell has improved so she's no longer considered neutropenic (i.e. she can partake in raw fruits and veggies again).

Thank you for all the inquiries. As of this morning, she's in Maine visiting family, relaxing, and resting before chemo on Tuesday. Stay posted...

Shrinking tumors is a really good thing. And perhaps the "unusual patterns" simply conforms what we already know: That Liz is an unusual person.

Good Luck with Chemo. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Let's hand in there.

I should have proofread my message twice. I'll blame it on the oxicodone. Let's continue to "hang in" there.
