Mom had her 2nd treatment today and it went well. Uncle Robbie talked with the radiologist and he explained that the first couple of treatments might agitate the tumor because it causes inflammation. But, after that, it should start to help with the pain and eventually shrink the tumor. That explains why mom had such a tough time yesterday. But today she was better. No bad episodes and she is reporting her pain around a 4.
Dr. Blanco, her radiologist, says she should have around 18 or so treatments so a little over 3 weeks worth and we should be good to go. I can already tell a slight improvement in just looking at her face. And, her hair is already growing back pretty quickly.
She gets her stitches out tomorrow and we plan on asking Dr. Steuer about the biopsy results then. As always, thanks for checking the blog and continue your prayers for her quick recovery.
