My stepdad says the chemo has reduced the size of her tumor..its easy to tell because it causes her cheek to protrude. He says its also decreased her pain a lot. What a relief! I was on pins and needles to call..I always assume I dont hear from them b/c its bad news. She hasnt called me because shes just always sleeping. Again, better than being sick, I suppose.
If this can just continue to work and she can start another trial, what a miracle that would be.
my mom, age 59.
