Truly Trudie

Mom had all her scans and tests repeated last Wednesday and met with Dr. V the following day. Results are still fairly positive, even though her tumor marker had increased by a slight 36 points and there might have been a little change in the lung lesions. The doctor felt this could be resulting from (1) the stress Trudie has been under due to the ongoing decline of Aunt Ruby; and/or (2) the cancer becoming resistant to the current chemo treatment. At Mom's chemo treatment on Friday, she began receiving two chemo drugs ....the same treatment that she originally started with over a year ago. It makes for a longer stay at chemo each session (about 8 hours), but we are pleased that Dr.V is being pro-active. Trudie's faith never falters and her attitude continues to be outgoing and optimistic. Dr. V said Mom "is a super-star".

Mom and Dad loaded up the car this morning and headed to Waxahachie for a few days. Mom said the house was c-o-l-d when they got there, but it sure was good to be home!
