I wasn't able to stay for the whole appt after the CT scan last week but asked my mom to have Dr. Marcoux call me. Of course she forgot to tell him so I never spoke to him directly. I did get a vm from the nurse reiterating how pleased they were at how well my mom responded to the chemo. So given the great news, I never questioned it.
Until today....I asked how much did the tumor shrink....it was 2.0 cm and now it was 1.9 cm. Really? Is that a cause for celebration? I thought the way everyone was acting, the numbers would be greater?!
I can't tell you how I felt when I heard the actual results. Is this really good news? Rob reassured me and said if you think about how fast this tumor is growing, any decrease is good news. I guess so but I still can't help feeling a huge disappointment in my heart. I hurt for her and what she has to go through - physically and emotionally. I know I shouldn't complain too much as she tolerates the chemo pretty well considering.....I should focus on the positives, right?
