Mom Update

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers about my Mom. Here's the latest update from my Dad:

She had an appointment this morning at U-M Comprehensive Cancer Clinic in Ann Arbshe go to U-M instead of Lansing Sparrow Cancer Center because they have docs in Ann Arbor who specialize in radiation and chemotherapy treatment for those with pancreatic cancer. It was interesting that the U-M docs thought it was a wise move that we went to the "big boys" at Mayo Clinic for the Whipple Procedure. We thought they might be upset that we didn't go to Ann Arbor for the surgery, but that was not the case.

Lynn continues to make progress, but has bad bouts of nausea. Sunday and this morning were really bad days for her in that she felt so bad that she was unable to eat anything. You know Lynn well enough that while she is eating one meal, she normally plans on what she is having for the next. Unfortunately that is not the case now. She continues to loose weight. In discussing this with the docs today, they prescribed some new anti-nausea medications. Tonight, she is feeling less nauseated and was able to eat. We hope and pray that this will resolve the problem.

The doctors have set up a treatment plan for the next 4-5 months. She will start two chemotherapy treatments in Ann Arbor on December 9 for three months. Treatment will be 2 Fridays in a row with one Friday off for 3 months. This will be followed with a combination of chemo and radiation treatment for 5 days a week for 5 weeks.

Please continue to pray that God do something amazing in all this.
