Mommy

So lately I have been wanting to write down an update for all my friends on how my mom has been.
I wish I had some good news.  But unfortunately, things aren't going so well.   We have a palliative care nurse who comes to visit the house and has adjusted mom's medications.  She is only on 2 kinds of pain meds now instead of 3-4.  However, she had chemotherapy on Tuesday and I think we are still the side effect days of the chemo.  She has been incredibly weak, exhausted and just overall out of it.  She's done not much more than sleep for the last 2 and a half days.  I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a better day.
During her check-up at her chemo appointment on Tuesday, the oncologist thought it sounded like my mom had fluid building in her left lung and sent her for a chest x-ray following therapy.  Later on Tuesday evening, I received a call from the oncologist with the results from the x-ray.  She said that the report showed that while there wasn't any more fluid in her lungs, there was an increase in both size and number of the tumors in my mom's lungs.  There is still a chance that the second round (which she received on Tuesday) will still have an effect on the cancer.  We have an appointment set up for a full CT for my mom in 2 weeks.  We will be finding the results out from that scan at my mom's next chemo appointment.  Please keep my family in your prayers as well trudge through this time.
In the meantime, I am trying to go through things with my dad, such as bills and what not, to try to decipher my mom's system.  Hopefully we can figure things out.
