Into the hospital

Mom saw the pulmonary doctor the other day. The only good news is that she likes him. He seems to actually understand what it takes to be a good doctor and to treat patients well.

As for the disease: She will go into St Francis hospital tomorrow, Friday, to have fluid drained. She'll be in teh hospital til Tuesday.

As for the chemo and radiation, none of it seemed to work. The tumor has not gotten any smaller.

Mom's pretty exhausted and this was a big blow. We were sure she was getting better and the problems were jsut the side effects of the treatments. The other good news is there will be no moree side effects. Traditional treatments are over. Now the search begins for alternatives.
