Chemo class and x-ray

Mom had a chest x-ray done in Tulsa today, and the doctor left a message on her phone this evening: the fluid in her lungs seems 95% resolved. Praise God. We are so thankful that her body is taking care of this, and she did not require another tap on her chest cavity.

Tonight, Mom, Dad, & I attended a chemo class run by Cancer Care Associates in Tulsa. It was over 90 minutes of great information. They gave Mom a book with all the information they presented. The majority of the information was on side effects of the chemo, with both preventative & treatment ideas, and under what circumstances you need to contact the doctor. Mom felt really empowered by the information.

She will begin chemo on Monday.

Love you, Connie, and we continue to pray that God will watch over you as you begin this next phase of treatment. Mary Helen called and asked us to pass on her love and best wishes as well. Take care. With hugs and love always, Phyllis
