Update

Unfortunately, my mother's cancer has returned. A recent biopsy confirmed that it is once again growing in the fluid in her lungs. The CT scan shows no significant change other than pleural and abdominal fluid. Her tumor markers are the true indicator that the cancer has returned. While one has grown a little, the other tumor marker number has had a big jump. She has already gone for her first chemo treatment so we are moving quickly. After her first chemo treatment, my mom didn't do so well and ended up in the hospital. Her sodium levels were low and she felt really horribly. She believes that it would be best if she entered a rehab center after discharge from the hospital so she can regain her strength. Unlike last time, she would love some visitors as long as there aren't too many on one day. Her energy is low and she needs to focus on getting well but friendly faces and cards would provide some distraction during the long days ahead. We'll keep you posted and please keep her in your prayers.
