So far, so good!

I think it's been past time to update!

Mom has been doing great! I'm hoping to get her to write up her own update for me to post, but this is my version. :)

So far, Mom has had one infusion of chemo via IV, and has been on 12 days (of 14) of the chemo pill. After the two weeks of pills are up, she'll have a week of nothing! Then, back to MD Anderson for Round 2, which is the same thing all over again: a few hours of a chemo IV, then 14 days of pills.

So far, there have been almost NO SIDE EFFECTS!! Hallelujah. Every once in a while she'll feel a little queasy (who wouldn't?). The way she describes it best is that she just doesn't feel "quite right".

Her next appointment will be May 6th. Please say special prayers for her that day.
The nurse said that some people may not experience any major side effects until after the 2nd treatment. I'm hoping Mom will experience none at all!!
