Radiation and Chemotherapy and MRI

First, Janette "has nothing in the brain!" As Aunt Eliska joked. No cancer showed up on the MRI for her brain. This is great news!

Janette has now had 3 radiation sessions, 2 on the low back and 3 on the chest, and one chemotherapy session. All are making her tired, but no nausea and no weight loss. She just finished eating a good sized meal of steak, collards, rice and grilled onions. Four weeks of radiation, four sessions (one/week) of milder chemo and then more weeks with much stronger chemo.

Janette's voice and breathing are also better, but unfortunately, her leg pain is much worse. Each day the pain increases and she can move less. The back radiation is supposed to help this pain, so we have hope. She also has pain killers that she now will start taking regularly rather than occasionally. Hopefully that will also make a difference.
