My mom update

18 05 2006

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 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.
