Ides of March, belated

[dreamshark]

I was going to post this on the Ides, but wanted to talk to ambertatge first. We all (me, R and my mom) had a good time on the trip to Sedona. I'm just as glad we didn't get the results of the biopsy until the day after we got home. Not good news - my mom's liver biopsy was positive. After four years cancer-free, it's back. They're still doing tests, so no real prognosis except that it's inoperable at this point. She's feeling pretty good, in fact much better than she was feeling a couple of months ago for some reason. She's planning to start chemo within the month, following the same regimen that was so effective 5 years ago. It's not going to cure her, but may buy her some time. Whether that would be months or years we don't know yet.

Sorry for the not-good news. Here's hoping this ride on the medical roller-coaster turn out as well as the one 5 years ago, or even better. They're improving treatments all the time. Still, I'm sorry your mother and all of her loved ones have to go through this again. Not fun.

Glad to hear your trip to Sedona went well for all of you. I look forward to seeing you while I'm in town for Minicon. Hugs in person then. And virtual ones in the meanwhile.

Please pass my good thoughts on to your mother.

I hope for the best possible outcome for you and for Oma. Even I tell Oma stories, sometimes.

I'm sorry, and I hope that things go as well as possible under the circumstances--for all of you. My best wishes to your mother.

I'm very sorry to hear of this resurgence. I hope the chemo will buy lots more time.

It's good to hear that your trip went well and that your mom's been feeling good lately.

May she continue to feel well and get well soon.
