UPDATE

April 23, 2008 carynmartine

Mom was not feeling so good over the past couple weeks since she has been out of the hospital.  She complained often of belly aches.  Yesterday she had a PET scan which showed that the cancer had returned in her liver.  She is being admitted to the hospital at some point this afternoon for another round of VDTPACE chemo. 

VDTPACE is an 11 day chemo cycle which consists of 96 hours of straight chemo followed by Velcade on days 7 and 11.  Assuming no complications she will be in the hospital 5 days.  Tomorrow is her birthday so she is a little sad about being in the hospital for it, as she spent last years’ birthday there too.  Your cards and phone calls and messages on the blog will bring her lots of cheer so please keep them coming.  You can contact her on dad’s cell phone at 908-902-8367 or send cards to my address at 353 East 72 Street, 12C, NYC 10021.  Will keep you posted….
