Dr. Coleman has informed Mom and Dad that the current cancer is from Mom's previous kidney cancer in 2007. So, they get a few weeks off to rest, relax and gain more strength. If Mom can get stronger, they can do chemo treatments. The doctors are saying that only 20% of people respond to the treatments with this type of cancer. Hey, we'll take that 20%!!! God doesn't care about the doctors statistics. :) He IS the great physician!!
On December 6th, Mom will have a CAT scan, echo cardiogram and more blood tests. On December 7th, Mom and Dad will meet with Dr. Coleman and discuss possible future treatments. They will also be evaluating Mom's physical strength - to see what her ability is to handle chemo treatments. Currently, Mom is using her walker.
On a different note...this week will be filled with great family! Sonny and Margaret (Don's brother and wife from Arizona) are flying in on Sunday...and will be here for a few days. We are also excited to see Lisa, Halim, Miriam, and Adam (from California)who are also flying in on Sunday too. Later on in the week, we get to see Alan's and Deb's wonderful families as Thanksgiving gets closer. It will be so much fun to have the whole family together again for a few days!! We are also very blessed to have such wonderful friends here in Rochester, MN and Eau Claire, WI! We have so much food being given to us on Thanksgiving from many thoughtful people in those towns. Thank you, thank you, thank you to ALL those ladies and families that are giving to the McCutcheon family this Thanksgiving Day!!! The generosity has been amazing!
