The latest info for Audy Momma
Just wanted to bring everyone up to speed on what's going on with Mom. She has several more appointments scheduled before she starts chemo. They are as follows:
1. 03/28 @ 9 am - She is going to have an IV drip of Zometa to decrease the calcium in her blood. This overabundance of calcium is coming directly from her cancer. She will be sent home with a prescription for Prednisone and Allopurinol to take orally to complete this.
2. 03/29 - She needs to have more blood work to verify her calcium levels.
3. 03/30 @ 1 pm - She is having a bone biopsy @ SMH to ensure that the cancer has NOT spread to her bones. If it has, then her treatment will be slightly different to account for that.
03/30 @ 3 pm - She is meeting with Dr. Mohile @ Highland Hospital. Dr. Mohile is a geriatrician and will be helping Mom with the whole chemo process and things that she may need to assist her while she is going through this. ( Kinda like a social worker Doc. )
4. 04/03 @ 11 am - She is having a second appointment with the Physical Therapist @ SMH Lymphedema clinic. She is trying to reduce the swelling in Mom's forearm and hand for now.
04/03 @ 1 pm - She is having a MUGA (cardiac scan) to ensure that Mom's heart will tolerate the chemotherapy well enough.
5. 04/04 @ 9:30 am - She is having a "port" placed into her upper chest to allow the chemo and any/all blood work to be done comfortably. This avoids having to do needle sticks on her arms/hands.
6. 04/05 @ 9 am - She is seeing her oncologist, Dr. Barr. He will talk to her prior to her starting her chemotherapy for the first time.
04/05 @ 10 am - She will be receiving her first dosage of chemotherapy. This is provided that all of her tests come back with appropriate results and her calcium levels have diminished. The chemo is done in the privacy of her own room, complete with television, bed, tables, chairs. We can be with her during all of this if we'd like. Each time she has chemo, it will be for 6 to 7 hours, once/week, every three weeks.
7. 04/23 @ 2:15 pm - She has a follow up with Dr Tyler, the original oncologist/surgeon who saw her initially.

MOM SAYS.........
Everybody have a good night, a good weekend and be good, remember, mom has eyes in the back of her head, lol. (this message was brought to you buy momma Audy via debadee).
Momma Audy's Diagnosis
I am posting a link to a credible website that explains Mom's diagnosis in greater detail. I have just heard from the Oncologist/Radiologist that pathology is done and confirmed. She has Non Hodgkins' Diffuse large B cell lymphoma. I am waiting to hear back from him as to who/when/where she will be seen. He mentioned the team is at Strong Memorial and fabulous! Chemotherapy, both IV and oral medicine, will be the treatment of choice. We will find out more specifics as to how often this will occur when the Chemo team meets with us. There MAY be radiation after the chemo, if they feel it is warranted. However, the big consolation that the Radiation Oncologist wanted us to appreciate is that Mom will not have to have any surgery as far as they can see. The chemo alone should kill all of the cancer cells and reduced and/or eliminate the tumor and associated swelling completely. Dr Constine( radiology oncology doc ) was very reassured that he and the chemo team can "resolve" this for Mom. The article that I am enclosing the link for is very informative and realistic. I hope this helps us all understand a little bit better about what's going on. Any questions, feel free to ask!
