Hi,
I just thought I'd give an update on my mom. She ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure. She was in the hospital for about a week, and is stable now. They also told us that she has chronic kidney disease (probably from all the meds shes been on all these years). The Dr. started her on an oral chemo pill called Alkeran. He's not optimistic, but she wants to try it.
The other day she started bleeding heavy in her urine. We aren't sure what this is from. The Dr. said it's not from the new chemo. So it can be from low platelets or her kidneys. Tomorrow she is getting a platelet and blood transfusion then will go for a sonogram.
One a good note........ she had her platelet transfusion this morning and now she is at Parks Casino doing what she loves!!
Will keep you all posted as we go on.
Have a good day all.......... Keep the faith!!
Paula
