Mom had a Dr's appointment today and there's not really much good or bad to report. She has only been on the new trial drug for a week. She isn't noticing any side effects and Dr. says that is because it is still building up in her system. She doesn't have any new symptoms either. He says it is safe to assume that the cancer has not spread anywhere else, so that is good to hear! Her spirits are up and she seems like she is doing well and feeling good. We won't find out anything about this drug working for 3 more weeks when she gets more scans done.
Anyway, some of what mom has to do as part of the clinical trial is get a vision test, an ekg, lots of blood draws, and a physical check every week. She looks good and is otherwise in good health (minus the having cancer).
In the meantime we are in a state of uncertainty, but we are hopeful and saying prayers every day! Thank you all!
