August 24 Dr report and Chemo

Today we went for results of CT scan,etc and to discuss further treatment. Dr. said she did not see as good of results as she had hoped. There was only a little improvement but tumors were about the same size. Further chemo is not recommended. There is a drug that she wants us to think about, Erbitux. So far what I have read I am not thrilled with and I am encouraging everyone to look it up and am looking for all feedback. I was surprised at her report because Mom is really doing pretty good right now. Her oxygen level waS 98% that's not bad for stage 4 lung cancer. She still has full function of her right lung. The cancer is unchanged in the lymph glands and they will do another Pet scan to see if there are any changes there. These decisions are hard to make.
Tommorrow is the funeral of a friend that had breast cancer then brain cancer. We learned that another had uterine cancer and another is fighting breast/liver. We have lost quite a few wonderful people at church. And a really wonderful man died after heart surgery today after battling cancer twice. I really hate cancer!!!!!!!!I am going to start eating asparagus daily. Heavy heart tonight, need prayer time.
Mom has such a good attitude, she hasn't felt sorry for herself, she is more worried about us girls. My prayer is that we will have a clear answer on what to do in the future and that she will stay feeling pretty good for a long time.

New Grandbaby!

Memaw is a great-grandmother again! My sister, Crystal, had her baby last night! Her name is Jacee Dawn and she is precious! Memaw is still in the hospital but suppose to be going home today. We are hoping that they will wheel her down to see the baby before she leaves. It definitely lit her up last night when we told her we thought it was time for the baby to come. It's very convenient for both of them to be at the same hospital for my mom. :) This is number 16 great-grand kid (if I'm counting right) and she just loves them all so much. Thanks for your prayers!
