Well this sucks!

So after only 4 short months...here we go again. I had hoped to never again have anything to post on this blog, but as you can see here we are again. Mom has been doing well over the last few months, feeling good and even traveling a bit to see family. Last month, in December when she had her monthly blood work done they found a little something strange, so they did a bone marrow test and sure enough they found some blast cells again....cancer...again. She got the news on Thursday and was headed back for the hospital on Friday. When they arrived for prep to start Chemo again the Drs. wanted to get her Central Line in and when they did the procedure they somehow knicked her artery and she started to bleed and they had to stop. This is something that sometimes happens when they pull out the guide wire. Lucily the body is able to heal itself fairly quickly. They decided that they would put in a pick line in her arm instead. All of this was quite an ordeal so they waited untill Saturday to start the Chemo. This time around, because somehow one of those little buggers survived in her marrow, they will have to use a different type of Chemo. I talked to Mom today and she says that she is a little sicker this time around and has had a couple of bouts of nausea and vomiting. Nothing that she can't handle though. Today, Monday, was day three of treatment and she feels much better today. They are giving her atavan (sp?) to help with the nausea. A good friend of the family, Carrie Delgado, brought in dinner and Mom was able to eat a bit of soup and felt pretty good. So for now we will take this day by day and see how she does. As always your prayers and thoughts, calls and visits are needed and appreciated. Love to all.
