Status Update

Good Afternoon!


It's been a while since I've updated you on anything, but there really hasn't been much to update.

Last week Liz completed her 3rd full round of chemo (6 infusion sessions). She's doing well. The chemo has started making her mouth taste bad for a few days afterward, but that was a side-effect we knew would probably come.  Other than that she's been in good spirits and everyone at the City of Hope has been wonderful.

Her disability payments finally started coming in and she's going to be okay. YAY!!  

She has her own set of wheels now to get her around on long days.  On a regular basis she's fine on her own two feet, but for being out and about when there's a fair amount of walking to be done the wheelchair helps her keep her energy for whatever exciting thing we're up to. 

Over all, she still looks like her normal healthy self. You'd never know she was sick to look at her. Her hair is thinning but still very much there. 

Tomorrow they'll take a new CT scan and see how the cancer is reacting to the chemo. Then the doctor will determine what steps to take next, whether they continue on this same regimen, adjust the dosage, or switch her to something different.

Once the results come back in another week or two we'll know more and hopefully be able to post an update.


Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend with the ones you love!
