Mom wasn't able to get an MRI because it was too painful for her to lay on that hard table for that long. Also, nothing showed up on the x-rays they took of her shoulder. We don't know at this point if it's her cancer that is causing her this much pain or if it's just a pinched nerve. Either way, no medicine has really been able to help until yesterday when Dr. Mccune gave her a patch to wear. Because of that patch, mom was able to sleep through the night and have a nearly pain-free day! So that's very exciting. We are going to try for another MRI once her pain gets under control.
Mom goes tomorrow for the Depocyte chemo treatment. Dr. Mccune will draw spinal fluid from the port on her head and run some labs on it to see how well mom is fighting the cancer. She will then get the R-CHOP the following Tuesday.
Please pray for her pain to subside and for her doctor's appointments to go well. She needs to be able to lay on the MRI table so we can see if there is something in her shoulder causing her pain.
