This is good

Mom had her appointment with the breast surgeon today. Upon exam, the doctor stated that things look much better. She did an ultrasound in the office and stated that the cancer is...
ALMOST DIMINISHED!
This is fantastic news. Mom said the doctor is very excited about this. She has two more chemotherapy treatments and the doctor told her the chemo stays in your body for several weeks after your done as well. It looks like mom will have surgery sometime around the end of September and may have radiation after that. Mom sounds very encouraged by the progress. She says that all the pain she has been in over the last couple weeks is worth it as long as she gets the good end result.

  1. This is great news! I'm so sorry that she is having such a hard time with her toe, but she will be glad her doctor is being cautious. My dad lost the feeling in his feet, and he's had all sorts of problems with that since then.
