Update on my Mom

Here's the latest update on my Mom from my Dad:

Before Lynn's chemo treatment last Friday, we met with her oncologist at U of M. The good news is there is only one more chemo treatment and that will be this Friday, February27th. On March 1st, she will have a CT Scan to determine how effective the treatments have been, but won't find out the results until we meet with the Doc on Monday, March 6th. Please keep her in your prayers for great results.

Depending on the results of the CT Scan, radiation and another form of chemo treatment is scheduled to begin mid - March. These are daily treatments (five days a week) for 5 1/2 weeks. We'll be finding out this week whether or not this can be done in Lansing under University of Michigan Cancer Clinic supervision. We are very pleased with the medical team and don't want to switch, so we'll go to Ann Arbor if that's our only choice.

Lynn has really been impacted more by this last treatment than the others. She is so-o-o tired and feels really horrible. The Docs have told us that they are treating her cancer very aggressively with two very strong chemo treatments simultaneously. Her appetite is not as good as what it was, but the good new is she did not loose any weight over the last two weeks.

As you know, Lynn has always been an avid reader. Since October, she hasn't felt like reading and it was hard for her to comprehend the books she has always loved. About three weeks ago, she picked up a book and really enjoyed it. Ever since, I've been going to the library for her favorite books. Reading books and doing Sudoku puzzles has really made the time go by faster.

May God bless you for your continued prayers, meals, cards, flowers, phone calls and all the other acts of kindness shown. We appreciate you.
