Thanks ConcernedDaughter

Seems like after a week in the hospital mom seems to be feeling a little better. Getting IV fluids and special wound care helped her a lot.
Every time she takes a treatment she gets severe Mucositis. She also gets some swelling and it stops her from swallowing.

She is now back eating soups and straw sipping. She will take another treatment next week. I think the doctor said after this third treatment of Carbo/Doctaxel he will take a scan to see if there is any good results. If the results are not good we will not waste time to move on to something else.

I wont let my mom give up .
I told my mom It aint over till the fat lady sings.
