The chemo infusions have continued to go well. We’re turning into chemo treatment room snobs, we didn’t have a window this week - which we didn’t love.
Two weeks ago she had been having very bad muscle cramps and they found her magnesium was very low so they added that to her infusion, which helped.
As we were visiting with the doctors last week the results of her gene sequencing came in and it was very good news. The mutation my mom has responds well to a pill treatment. It’s not anything they will do now, but another option to keep in mind as treatments progress. He also said many of his patients with this mutation live longer, so we’re holding on to that.
This week we didn’t have a doctor appointment but her blood work showed that her magnesium was once again low - so low they thought it was mistake and ran it again. It was accurate and they gave her two doses with her infusion.
They called her today and said because the numbers are dangerously low she will need to have magnesium infusions twice a week to try and get the number up. We are waiting to hear if these can be done in Brighton, but if not she’ll have to return to Ann Arbor for the treatments.
All of your messages and prayers are cherished. Please pray that the infusions would help her magnesium levels and that the chemo would shrink the tumors.
We still have the meal train up, although she made me take it down to one meal a week. That was the compromise instead of taking it down completely, like she requested. 😅
Although she is doing well after treatments, she is tired and often nauseous and if we can relieve her of even one or two days of meal prep, I think it’s helpful so she can rest. Thank you all for your support. ❤️
