Hello everyone, short update. Mom is doing well, no swelling of her feet after chemo this Friday.
We're awaiting an appointment with the radiation oncologist this Tuesday. Parveen is going with mom.
Since the tumor showed no change but no new sites of disease they may try using both methods to combat her disease/manage it.
Dr. A did mention that radiation makes people sick and I wouldn't want that, the family also agrees. She is doing well with chemo, household chores, cooking rice, laundry. We are content with this increase in quality of life. We want to keep it this way.
But Dr. A didn't want us to think he isn't doing everything he can and that he's keeping options from us so that is why the trip to the radiation doc was booked.
If anyone has read any good papers or studies on radiation and its benefits to PC patients, please feel free to e-mail them to me.
Goodnight.
