Apparently even mom's cheneys are defiant. The ultrasound showed blockage of the bile ducts, but not the cause so she had her CT scan this afternoon. The scan indicated that the cheneys have become resistant to the chemo drugs in this protocol as evidenced by the swelling of her abdominal lymph nodes which, in turn, are blocking the bile ducts in her liver.
Tomorrow mom will undergo Plan A to open up her ducts and if that doesn't work, Plan B. The focus right now is on getting her liver working again and minimizing any damage to it. The cheneys will have to wait their turn.
I'm keeping the blog up because Sister A has her capable hands full with mom's hospitalization. She said that mom seems to be hanging in and is planning her lawsuit against TKO. Just kidding Cousin R. Did we mention the needle they left in her port Tuesday when they sent her home with a UTI and liver malfunctioning and no meds and no plan? Yes, they were already to Kaneohe when the nurse called, "Oops!" and they had to stop at the Kaneohe clinic to get a nurse to remove the needle.
What does HMO, really stand for? I will donate $25 to the charity of your choice for the best suggestion.
