Donna had a visit with the oncologist last Thursday. It looks like the oral Chemotherapy isn’t working. Her calcium level was high and she was given medication to bring that down. The doctor wanted to see how she would do without any medication this week, run the blood work this Wednesday, and see how she did and decide where to go from there.

Well, things have not been going so well. Donna spent the weekend not feeling well at all and running a high fever. She is sleeping a lot and not eating too well. She also seems to be having a really hard time with her balance too. She was getting very dehydrated and was sent to the ER Monday. In the ER they gave her fluids and ran tests and did a CTscan of her brain. They were looking to see if the cancer had spread to the brain, which it had not. That was good! They recommended her see her Oncologist. which she has an appointment tomorrow (Wednesday) at noon. A lot of her Church family have been staying with her round the clock.

I know everyone has been keeping Donna in their prayers, please continue to do so and pray for her to be comfortable and feeling better right now. I will post when I know more about what happens at the appointment.

Love to All, Tina
