Today we got the results of all the CT scans that were done last week.  The results were over all good, but rather mixed results. Many of the spots on her lungs, the tumor on her right adrenal gland have slightly decreased in size.  There is a small tumor in her liver that has stayed the same.  The tumor on her left kidney has grown slightly as well as the tumor on her pelvis.  All other tumors have stayed the same size.  Over all the results show that she is responding to treatment.  They did find two blood clots in her iliac veins.  They felt they needed to treat those with daily injections of blood thinners to keep that under control.

Mom wants to try to go back home (to Illinois) for a few weeks and see everyone back there for a while.  So we are going to try to set things up so that Mom can get chemo in Illinois and come back here for follow up and direction of care.
