Journal entry by Rita Eklund —
Mom's final round of chemo was Oct. 17. This round had her feeling a bit more crumby than the others, so she was very glad it was the last one!
She had a CT scan 2 weeks post chemo and it showed NO signs of cancer!
She will be taking a med (niraprib) that decreases her chance of cancer recurrence from 85% to 50%. We are hopeful that the side effects are minimal or non-existent.
She will have blood tests done weekly for 1 month, then monthly for 6 months to monitor cancer levels. Her port will stay in for 6 months so she can easily receive a transfusion or treatment if needed.
We are grateful the bulk of her journey is complete and are hopeful that the next 6 months goes smoothly.
Thank you all for keeping her in your prayers!
