Hi ConcerenedDaughter

My mom took her third treatment of Carbo/Taxel a week ago. A scan is being scheduled before the forth treatment to see if its working. No sense to waste time if its not working and move on to something else. Another appointment is scheduled at MDA on March 25. I'm not sure if my mother is going to keep this appt. She may be to sick to make the trip.

New problems and I don't like what I see. This open wound rite below her jaw is as round as quarter. This is caused from the cancer. This may sound gross but what's happening now is what ever drink she sips on we are seeing on the bandage on the wound. I'm totally in shock by this. What is happening here. This is not good. I bring her to the doctor and were told there is a communication problem. I'm like Ooook. What do you mean a communication problem. Well I think the doctor just didn't want to explain what is really going on here. I think the cancer may have spread to the esophagus . I just don't know. Were could this leakage of her food and drink be coming from that some of it is going trough her neck. This is weird and serious.

We have an appt. with a special wound care doctor in the morning. I will see what his opinion is. I'm getting really worried now. This is not good at all.

Prayers
Heidi
