Home, Week 30.5

It's the week off of chemo, and Mom needs platelets. We've talked to her doctor, and have decided to stay the current course for now, with just the one chemo drug, as adding any of the other possibilities would have side effects that Mom isn't ready to deal with right now.

So as long as the one drug is effective, that's what she'll be doing, unless she decides she wants potentially faster progress, and is willing to deal with the side effects (hair loss, nausea, blood counts going down more than they are now).
