The chemo schedule for her lungs is being planned and she is having a port put in next week so she can start chemo right after the radiation is completed.
I think she is doing better mentally as she got on the phone with me. She says not to replace her as she is coming back. It seems that her docs have told her that they can get her into remission. I hope that this is not just lip service as I know how really serious her situation is. I guess I just know too much and too many people that have had the same diagnosis and not made it very long.
