UPDATE

Last Monday (March 8), Mom and Dad were at Hopkins to hear the results of the CT scan from the previous week and for the chemo. Dr. Guintoli had Mom start a NEW treatment called Avastin right after her appt. with him. She will receive this every 21 days, and she will not need the Neulasta shot the day after treatment anymore. Also, she will not have to get bloodwork done every week but will only get it right before treatments.

Mom was directed to move around more so she started walking this past week on those warmer days.

Last weekend, we brought our newly purchased video camera to Mom and Dad's and captured some footage of Mom sharing some stories and answering questions about her childhood, motherhood, etc. Below is the first story she shared.

Please pray for:
~effectiveness of this new treatment
~relief from the cough
~motivation to walk and move around more
