So my mom had a ct scan yesterday and saw the MO this morning. Not good was the text I received from my sister while in the office.

They said that the tumor in her face is growing. She has tumor in her rib that has the rib ready to break. There are also lymphnodes in the chest that have grown.

They are doing a one time only radiation at the spot on the rib and starting her on taxol/Erbitux once weekly.

Did I mention that I HATE CANCER!
