RADIATION TREATMENTS

MY MOM HAS STARTED RADIATION TREATMENTS. SHE WILL HAVE 10 TREATMENTS AND THEN THEY WILL DO A SCAN TO SEE IF THE TUMOR IS SHRINKING. SHE HAD A SCAN DONE ON MONDAY THAT DOESN'T SHOW ANY HOT SPOTS FOR THE LYMPHOMA. SHE WILL STILL NEED TO SEE A LIVER DOCTOR TO SEE HOW SEVERE THE DAMAGE IS TO HER LIVER. IT LOOKS LIKE JANUARY BEFORE SHE CAN GET IN.

UPDATE

So, it looks like more chemo is out of the question for my mom. They are recommending Radiation. She would have to have a treatment 5 days a week for 6 weeks. I don't know when this would start or if they have decided for sure it is the way to go. She can't get in to see the liver doctor until January, so it will be a while before we find out what is going on there. Hope everyone is doing well.
