Oncologist Appointment

I took mom to her doctor this morning. As always, she was told to intake more calories, or she will not be able to fight anything. Also, we found out she has a hernia. Her cancer is causing her a lot of pain these days, on top of the recovery from her surgery. I can't imagine having all of those things going on in my body! She is such a strong woman. 

We found out her fever is caused by the tumor, or from the inflammation of the surgery. 

The doctor has put her back on one of her chemotherapy drugs because he is worried mostly about the cancer. I took that as good news- that she is "well" enough to be on such a strong prescription. She is still not able to be on her I.V. chemo treatments, but I am just glad she can be on one! We do not want this cancer spreading anymore!

Overall, he did not say anything black and white. Cancer leaves room for a lot of gray area.

Please continue to pray that mom will have an appetite(we are also starting her on a drug that will help her to gain an appetite) and will gain strength to heal as quickly as possible from this surgery. Also, for the cancer to just leave her alone! Pray for her pain to be relieved. 

So thankful for the support. I really could not do this without all of you. Much Love.
