We finally received the good news we have been hoping for. Mom is "stable". No new growth. No new spots. I take that back, one spot grew one millimeter. As a family we have agreed that a one millimeter growth every two months is acceptable.... for the next 20 years. No complaints.
There is something small showing up on the scan in one of her lungs which appears to be inflamation. They said it is very small, but it could be the reason she has been coughing more. They gave her some new pills to try and stop the inflamation, but they assured us that it is very minimal and should be gone within a few days.
With the extra coughing and more frequent headaches mom has been having lately, I think we were expecting some change in the scan. We were pleasantly surprised. Keep the prayers and positive thoughts coming our way. They seem to be working.
Smiling again-
