Making Progress in the right direction

I realize I have not posted lately and a few people have mentioned that they would like an update. Yesterday's removal of the PORT seemed like a 'post worthy' event.  So since the last post, Mom went back to Merced for a few weeks and then came back here to Santa Barbara to start on her new chemo medicine. She has to be on a milder form of chemo b/c the tumors in the spine (which are now gone) were metastasized (they spread from the primary site). She started on the Zoloda (new chemo drug which is a pill) 2 1/2 weeks ago and so far is tolerated it well.  Her hair is growing back in a nice salt and pepper color. We can't tell yet if it's curly or not. We are keeping her busy with little league baseball games and she is enjoying the MLB season as well. I will post more photos soon. Thanks for checking in with us.
