Maureen has had a decent week. She radiation to all 3 sites, each day from monday to friday, as well as chemo with taxol on thursday. We had about a one hour meeting with Dr. Pollack, the Radiation Oncologist on wed and this was very helpful. We both are extremely comfortable with him. He also started Marti on a course of decadron (strong type of cortisone) to try to decrease the pain in her right shoulder. Noreen has been here since sunday and she has been awesome-great sense of humor and great cook, too. We were going to go to the casino last night but it was 0 degrees and we lost our desire to go outside.
Also, Marti had a cat scan of her left hip because of pain---this was done yesterday and I reviewed it with the radiologist, and the rod looks good, and there does not appear to be any cancer in that area--nice to get a piece of good news once in a while.
So we start all over again monday. Thanks to everyone for all the support. She gets tired easily and sometimes suddenly, but her spirits are good.
Best regards,
Bob
