Looks like I will be in Portland for a while. Came up to see the doctors today and they were amazed at the extent of my rash and skin growths. Guess it is one of the worse that they have seen. So i am off the drug for the time being and we are all hoping that the rash will get better. We are all also very hopeful that this means that the drug is working. As the doctor admitted that as bad as it is, it is better than being absolutely miserable on the chemo drug with very little hope of getting better!
I have to go to the dermatologist on Monday to have the growth's taken off (there are many of them so don't know how many he will do then or if I will have to come back several times)
Will save you the horror of seeing a photo of me right now...not pretty. We'll keep you posted on how things progress.

Molly,
ReplyDeleteTamina and Cathy here. Thanks so much for sharing your update and access to your blog site. So glad your family will keep us informed via this terrific medium. We think of you so often and love seeing the photos of you and your grandchildren - what adorable children!!! We love the photo of you reading to them - lucky kiddos. May your rash improve and may the drug be doing exactly what it was developed to do (minus any more side effects!!!).
With love,
Tamina and Cathy
