My mom had a CT Scan last Friday and we received the results today. The Chemo must be working because the Cancer is shrinking. The cancer Cells in my moms cheek of her face and in her neck are gone. The doctors are really happy with the results. My mom took 3 treatments of Carboplatin/Doctaxel before the scan was done. Now the doctors will continue with 6 more rounds and hope the remaining cancer continues to shrink. There is still a spot in the rear Mandible and on the Carotid Artery. We are happy that the cancer is finally responding to treatment.

As for the open wound on her neck. The doctors had a meeting after reading the results of the scan and have decided to go through with the hyperbaric treatments. The wound is so deep into her throat that it has to be done. These treatments will start this coming Monday.

Thanks
Heidi
