So, here's the scoop.
Mom's CT scan came back clean! It does not show that the cancer has spread to any internal organs. This, of course, is fantastic news.
Her platelet counts are on the low side. So, chemotherapy is not an option right now. That may change in the near future. The way that I look at it is that maybe she is not supposed to receive chemotherapy right now. Perhaps she is supposed to keep eating well, enjoying life, and staying positive. Chemotherapy might squash those priorities. So, we need to just roll with what we are given.
Mom will be receiving another MRI either this week or early next week. They want to see if the brain tumors have grown since the last test. If they have, Dr. Gore may prescribe more radiation to the brain. It may be a more targeted approach this time, as opposed to the whole brain radiation that she received in October.
Today Mom and Dad are eating lunch at Oscars. Mom plans to finish all of her fish. And, I am sure that Dad will finish all of his, too. (That is never an issue.)
