Just wanted to update everyone on Kim's progress. Her first Chemo appointment is on Tuesday. The doctor said that she will have chemo once a week for six weeks, and then they will take a PET scan to see if it is making any progress. According to the chemo specialist, she will not lose her hair during this treatment. Her pain meds have also been increased since she is still in a great deal of pain. Kim has also gained 5 pounds which is great news to us! The doctor ordered her a hospital bed from hospice (it should come next week) to help with Kim's swelling. Her face is swollen since she is lying flat instead of elevated. (Pillows just aren't working) She still has low spirits, but we keep trying to instill some hope into her.

I'll let you all know how chemo goes next week.

Bless you all.
