Thanks to everyone for their posts. She just did another round of chemo and seems to be doing fairly well….Amber she is doing Cisplatin/Gemcitabine about once a month. It seems she has different symptoms after each round of chemo. It began with fevers and then she had congestive heart failure, which was treated with diuretics and she responded very well. The time before she had issues with her blood and had to have transfusions. This most recent one she is having slight . confusion, hopefully which will be gone tomorrow. Dinesh, I agree sometimes we don’t always treat older people with the respect they deserve…they have so much to give to the younger generations. I’m not sure how much longer she will want to pursue the agressive treatment that she is doing now but it seems she has a bad week only to have three good ones…I guess you have to outweigh the good with the bad.
