chemo, chemo, chemo!

So Mom went in and had her PT scan and then met with her doctor to go over the results.  We were getting worried about her cancer spreading, especially into her lungs, but we were happy to find that it has not done so.  It has really not spread at all, which is great news.  Her cancer has not gotten any smaller, but has not spread either.  So she and her doctor decided to continue with the chemo she is on now.  She says it does not affect her too much and she is able to tolerate it just fine.  Besides making her tired, there are not many other side effects.  So the plan is she will continue with the same chemo until the beginning of January, I think twelve more weeks, and then she will go in for another PT scan to find out what is happening then.  We think that if it has still not gotten smaller by then, they may have to try something else, but that is just speculation on our part.  You never really know!  I am happy that she will be able to enjoy the next few months and the holidays, for the most part, and we will continue to play the waiting game.  Thanks for all your help, concern, names in the temple, prayers and anything else you have offered, it is all much appreciated!
