Mixed Bag

So there is a spot on the lung and a spot on the L1 vertebra, both believed to be metastases. On the positive side, the spot on the lung has not grown since February, and the spot on the spine appears to have been responding to the chemo she got in Vienna.

Iva isn't sure she wants to go through chemotherapy if they best they can give her is a 5% chace. Why make yourself sick for that?

How can you argue with that? I don't know what else to say.

  1. Obviously no one can argue with Iva. The only thing I can suggest is that maybe the doctors at Anderson have better treatment for post-chemo illness than the docs in Austria do. I know, from talking to friends who have been treated at Anderston, that within the past four or five years there have been great strides made in helping patients cope with the after-effects of chemo. Maybe one treatment would be worth trying, to see if it's better here.

    Other than that, my dear friends, all I can say is, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I wish I could help more.

    Love, Sue.
