Rough few weeks~

Past few weeks have been pretty rough for mom. Ever since her dental surgery where they removed all of her teeth due to a gum infection she's had a hard time getting used to her dentures and the nasty gag reflex that comes along with wearing them.

Even when there not in she seems not to be able to hold anything down. 

I'm unsure if it's the cancer growing or it's a culmination of the two. 

Getting ready to see the oncologist this Monday to see where we go from here chemo wise, while hoping resuming chemo if not a different chemo now that her mouth has healed a bit will help with whatever it is that's going on.

For now her pain is still pretty well managed it's her nausea and vomiting so often that has her feeling pretty miserable and exhausted these days.

Thank god for hydration at home or she'd probably be in the hospital every other day getting poked and prodded.

Mom finally had chemo this Monday after a long break and spoke to her Nurse practitioner about getting it every 2 weeks instead of every 3. She's lost about 10lbs due to all of the vomiting and the inability to hold anything down including her medications.

 I get the impression that her doctors are also worried that her tumor may be growing so they've ordered a ct of her abdomen, pelvis and chest for this coming Friday. Fingers crossed for unremarkable findings.
