Here is an update on mom, gma, auntie, sis etc or Carsi Ann o I can be brutally honest since she doesnt use FB After a discussion with her doctor yesterday she decided to go ahead and give chemo a chance We asked the difficult questions, of course we all know these are guestimates It is squamous cell in her bladder, lymphnodes and a few tiny spots in her lungs and spine but he sad there is a positive about it because it was not in her kidneys or liver Without chemo 4-8 months (if she continued at the rate she has been I was thinking more like between 2-4) With chemo he said it could extend 6 mo- maybe up to 2 years (beyond the above) The type of chemo being used doesnt have as pronounced side effects as some chemo can Carboplatin once a week for 3 weeks with one week off He will add another med to be decided on later, for one round every 4 weeks depending on how she tolerates the carboplatin She will have a pet after 2 rounds then we will know if we should continue She will lose her hair, nauseau and be fatigued but she was already having those symptoms She had her first treatment yesterday and is doing well so far! If anyone wants to call or visit please do :)
