We had an unexpected appointment with Dr. Torres yesterday morning due to Mom's reaction. He was quite concerned with the rash on her arms and legs, and changed her anti-nausea medication in hopes that that was the cause. He told us that it would be much easier to change that instead of having to explore a different form of chemotherapy. So far, it's looking pretty good with the exception that the two new anti-nausea medications aren't as strong as the former one. The rash has cleared up and doesn't seem to be coming back; however, Mom's been sick already twice this morning and has been sleeping on the couch most of the day. I guess that's the tradeoff for not having an allergic reaction and thankfully, it seems that we'll be able to stick with the same chemo medication and just change the anti-nausea ones.

The Cancer Center called this morning and cancelled her radiation today because the machine wasn't working. We'll resume treatments again on Monday. Please continue to remember us in your prayers as we get through this treatment. Thanks for your continued support and concern!
