We saw our oncologist today and were encouraged by his visit! Mama will only resume Taxol treatments if her nerve pain is reduced to “barely noticeable”. As that is not likely, I think we are safe to assume Mom is finished for now with chemotherapy and will continue with Herceptin which is immunotherapy and less physically taxing. Our oncologist said we are not to worry about this conclusion of Taxol being a setback in the overall treatment plan. He said, “Don’t think that way.” ;o)
Mama received Herceptin today and will continue with weekly treatments throughout December at which point we will switch to once every two or three weeks. A consultation with our surgeon is scheduled for January 4th. We would appreciate continued prayer for good communication; more trust in God’s goodness and that the Lord would continue to guide the minds of our doctors.
Praying you are all warm and safe after the Minnesota blizzard!
