Sorry it's taken me a few days to post, things have been super busy. Mom's surgery went well tho... They had to put her port on her right side (her dominate side) and for right now is causing her some discomfort, but will get better as she heals. This is what the port they put under her skin looks like...
She starts her chemo treatments next week... She won't be doing the estrogen blocker clinical trial, but they have asked her to do a different clinical trial for some anti-nausea medicine. The first rounds of chemo will be what they called AC&T, which stands for Adriamycin, Cytoxan, and Taxol... She will do this once every 3 weeks, for her first 4 times... then after that it will just be the Taxol, and she will do that once a week for 12 weeks. The doctors also said she will most definitely loose her hair. Mom wants to put some fun purple streaks in her hair before she looses it, and when she starts to loose it she has decided to shave it. In support of mom, some family members has chosen to shave their heads as well, so they're calling it a head shaving party. We were able to get some awesome family pictures done tho and we had so much fun taking them Here are a few and I will post more when we get them back from our awesome photographer, Annemarie Plazier...
I will continue to post, as mom receives chemo treatments as well, to keep everyone updated on how she is feeling and doing. Thank you so much for all your love and support!
