It's been a tough day.

Mom has been experiencing a lot of pain from radiation. Apparently the bones can swell and it is causing her a lot of discomfort.

We have dates for her first three rounds of chemo:
May 26th, June 16th, and July 7th.
She will receive the drugs through an I.V.
That treatment will take place at the Snow Canyon Clinic.

Her one high dose of brain radiation is scheduled at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. She will go in June 1st for her fitting and then have the treatment on June 2nd.

Keep her in your prayers please!

  1. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all -- thanks for keeping us all updated on the progress. Is there pain meds to combate the discomfort? For what it's worth, when the chemo starts I highly recommend Zofran (or the generic version) for nausea (unless there is a newer and better drug out there). Take care!

  3. Hi Jill, I forgot to tell you that your mouth will probably get sore and your taste buds will fail, but it is very important that you continue to eat very nutritional food. Nibble on good things through out the day. We love you. Thumbs up!! Love, Joan
