Mom just called...

Well...

My mom just called from Chicago...no good news. We are done taking trips to Chicago. The treatment is NOT working, so they feel that we are just wasting our time to keep going up there. :( However, when she gets back to Peoria, she is going to meet with her cancer doctor here to try a different kind of treatment. From what my mom told me on the phone, I think its going to be some type waistband that will give her a more concentrated dose of chemo. (But again, I could be completely wrong...I will talk to her more and update you all.) She has been having a spot on the left side of her abdomen and they believe thats a new tumor. Although the last treatment did not work, we are still not going to give up hope. Not yet!

However, one thing that I may ask of everyone right now...please don't bombard my mom with phone calls asking her details about how shes feeling and what is going on...I will update you here. I am sure that she is struggling with knowing that what we have been trying is not working...after all the money and time we have spent on our trips to Chicago. :( I can't imagine all of the pain and stress that she is going through right now, but one thing I do know is that my mom is a fighter and she is NOT giving up without a fight. Even though this cancer is taking her down physically, we don't want it taking her down mentally too by having to think about it all the time with everyone questioning her and feeling sorry for her. I know thats not what my mom wants...its not her!

KEEP PRAYING! Leave her comments of encouragement, love, and things to hope for! She reads this frequently!
