Mom’s cancer was beaten back in the brain, but the definitive tests of yesterday showed us that it has continued to grow in her body. After a brief meeting with her doctor, and after looking at multiple options for the road ahead, we decided that the best route forward was to return her cancer meds to full dosage and hope they will fight off the cancer again as they did before. The cancer will almost certainly kill Mom in time. But if it responds to these drugs as it did last time at this dosage, and if Mom’s heart can handle the meds, she could live for years into the future. If it does not respond, or if her heart has problems with the meds, years are no longer in the foreseeable future.
