Our Mom’s Fight Against Colorectal Cancer

Petscan and Chest X-ray results Tuesday

Filed under: Mom's Progress — Julie & Aimee at 2:51 am on Sunday, May 17, 2009

Mom has been having some abdominal pain and we are concerned it might be her liver.  So Dr. Kane ordered a chest x-ray and Petscan just to try to figure out where the pain is originating from and to get a more recent picture of what’s going on.  The results from the last Petscan were good and showed no progression of the disease.  We are hoping for good news Tuesday since we are all getting a little worried and anxious.  It’s so hard to not always expect the worst! 

Mom has been tolerating the chemo pretty well still but the neumega and neulasta shots give her some pretty annoying side effects.  Her legs and really her whole body get swollen, she gets pretty lethargic and right now she is bright red with white spots.  She says she has the reverse chicken pocks.  :)  Poor mom, she is such a trooper!
