2nd Out-Patient Visit Update

Mom went to the oncologist's office today, got blood drawn, and had an appointment with him. When he came in with the results, he said, "...perfect CBC...you're fixed..." He later said that if he showed the results to any other doctor and asked them what was wrong with this patient, they would say, "Nothing." Since being taken off all the chemo, those drugs actually continued to work.  So Mom will begin the maintenance phase now (which will be lower doses of the same treatment).  Because monitoring her heart is crucial, she'll be in the hospital for the next treatment. It would be too complicated for her to stay home and go in for treatment every day.

So, Mom returns to the hospital for one month on July 5th for maintenance. It's a good thing he's letting her wait til next week, too, because she's making the dessert for the 4th!
