Mom Date

All of the tests are in; according to the results my mother’s cancer remains in the bone and nowhere else. Genetically speaking the doctors were not able to determine with 100% certainty that it is estrogen based, as was her breast cancer, but the oncologist felt the odds were good enough that he is treating her as if it was.

She is receiving Zometa on a monthly basis. After the first month it appears that the Zometa is working. All of her counts were lower than they were in the previous month before treatment began. She is still in a lot of pain but that is one of the side effects of the treatment. Psychologically her mood has improved greatly as she sees hope for the future.

Thanks again to everyone who has been keeping her in their thoughts and/or prayers it is much appreciated.
