No change in PET scan


July 21, 2017

The results from the PET scan came back, and unfortunately it showed no change- the tumor size was the same and the chest lymph nodes still show abnormal activity. We're a little disheartened that the chemo does not seem to be changing anything besides making mom very tired and suffer awful headaches and leg weaknesses. However, we are also happy that at least it means the cancer is not growing! The doctor said that mom will need to continue chemo for more than 4 sessions, unlike previously expected. Since the chemo isn't terribly effective, we are looking into alternative medicine to supplement.

Tiffany's Perspective on the Last Days of Mom's Journey

From Tiffany's Perspective August 14, 2018 Today was the day that mom was cremated. Mom didn't have any specific wishes for when she passed away. She just wanted something small.  So for her cremation,  we wore something bright and colorful so we could send off mom in style, to celebrate and cheer her on her journey. My sister, my dad, and I all picked something that also has something memorable that related to mom. Admittedly after seeing how different mom had looked just a few hours after she passed away on Friday, I was concerned about how she'd appear after waiting in the mortuary for three days. I had a fair amount of experience with cadavers so I had some confidence that I would be okay, but I knew that was not what I wanted my sister to see if mom had advanced further since Friday (or even if she looked the same as she did on Friday night). Mom would not want us to see her in that state. To my surprise, she looked wonderful. She was so peaceful, as though she

Upcoming Second Chemo

June 25, 2017 On Tuesday will be mom's second chemo treatment. Please keep her in your thoughts and pray for her. We have been told that as chemo treatments go on, each one has greater side effects than the last. Over the past few days, she has had an increase in cough accompanied by heart palpitations, most likely due to fluid retention in her lungs. Let's hope that the chemo will work! Thanks everyone for your support! :)
