Half-Way Through Radiation!

Mom is half-way through her radiation treatment as of Wednesday.  She is going through three weeks of treatment to her hip area.  She is off her sutent (cancer pill) right now until the next round starts next Thursday.  So a little 14 day break from that.  She has been having extreme stomach pain and they did a CT scan for it and say everything looks good except for the gall bladder.  Those gall bladder stones must be painful!  The oncologist said that we would ignore that right now, because the cancer comes first.   She had some blood work done to check out her liver because she is looking a bit jaundice.  We should hear back on the blood work and CT scan on her chest mid-next week.  This is to check and see if the chemo pills are doing their job. 

Prayer requests right now:
1.  Comfort in the hip area and better mobility - we are getting her a walker and shower chair today, so hopefully that will help
2.  Gall Stone pain
3.  CT scan results on her chest - that they would show improvements on the spots on her lungs.

Thanks everyone for your support and on-going prayers!
