I talked to her yesterday. Soon she will be starting chemo and radiation treatments. She’ll be taking 500mg of Xeloda (a chemo pill) and have radiation treatment 5 days a week. Those treatments should shrink the tumor.
After the chemo and radiation treatments then they will perform surgery to remove any of the cancer that is left. Hopefully they will be able to stretch her colon back enough after surgery otherwise she will have to have a colostomy, which is the only thing she is really worried about at this point. I’ll keep things updated here.
I wish you both the very best
I buzzed through via Blog Explosion. I’m so very sorry what you are going through with your mother. It won’t be easy. Be strong and have faith.
damn it, where’s the tag board?.. anyway, i sincerely hope for the best for all of you. Thinking positively is the way to go.
