Just arrived back from the hospital from seeing the team .. the CT scan shows that cancer tumours in the tongue, neck and lungs are growing. 10% growth in the lungs in a period of one month.. 7 weeks of radiation and 3 rounds of chemo to the neck and lungs has had no effect on the lungs... even the oral cancer that existed on the tongue but was removed through surgery in June 2006 has also some how developed into something again ..

With her weak state they have decided to hold off from trying any drugs/treatment for a month. They say the average patient in this type of state, - where the cancer is not responding to treatment and with the growth levels .. the doctor is suggesting maybe 6 months... tho he cant really say ..

I dont know what options are left, dont even know where to turn to..
