So mom has been taking the Crizotinib targeted therapy drug for about 2 weeks and she was done with her last (round 6) intravenous chemo therapy of Avastin, Alimta, and Carboplatin combination about a month ago now. She was feeling pretty bad after round 6, but it wasn't as bad as what I hear from other survivors who had very difficult chemo treatments. She still has her hair, she has back pain, her blood pressure has elevated, and she has been really tired and worn out. All this aside, she has been looking like she feels better and she does have a lot more energy. We will get the results of how the targeted therapy drug crizotinib is doing in about 2 and half weeks. Just keep praying that it is working! She is strong and continues the good fight!!!
Okay, so now that I've written all that I can tell you all that mom had a wonderful weekend with girlfriends. They took her out for some window shopping, people watching, awesome lunch and dinner, and even took in a show!! Mom said she felt like she had walked 10 miles and it shows that she is very happy to have had that energy! She had a great weekend and is in a really good mood. She is rather tired today though. So I made her some chicken pot pie. It was good. I am just really glad that she had such a great time with her friends!!!
Next week she will be leaving to visit Michael, Annie, and her grandchildren. I am soooo happy that she has this opportunity to go visit. It has been really difficult for her emotionally not see or be around her youngest son, his wife and grandchildren. The boys, William and Charlie are 3 and almost 5, are such a joy and she loves doting on them. I am just so happy that she will be spending Thanksgiving with them! We all have so much to be thankful for and we thank all of you for your continued support!
God Bless!
SO COOL
