Our Mom’s Fight Against Colorectal Cancer

Doing great

Filed under: Mom's Progress — Julie & Aimee at 3:39 am on Friday, June 19, 2009

We were happy to hear that Uncle Terry received a clean, cancer-free bill of health!  CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Grams as well has thus far had the same news.  Mom isn’t cancer free but she is doing great on her treatment!  She is on the Xeloda (pill form of chemo) in place of the 5FU intravenous.  She still receives several other drugs intraveneously but her blood levels are maintaining a much better level since on the Xeloda.  Her and Jay are working on getting their own place in Colorado which would be great.  We will have to wait and see how the next scan looks to really know how she is doing on the Xeloda but I recently read several articles published recently on the NIH website and the Xeloda compares very well to the 5FU; no better but no worse.  And since it makes her life so much easier not having to have the daily shots then I hope it works out for future treatments!  We will keep our fingers crossed for the next PetScan.

Taking a week off, sort of
