Well. Liz had a pretty rough week. She had a bone scan on her hips and upper legs and a follow up chest scan. The results show that the cancer has spread extensively through her bones and her left lung has collapsed. She started taking calcium and vitamin D supplements along with receiving an Xgeva treatment to try to increase her bone density.

Pain management has been the biggest challenge for the past two weeks, She was in constant pain and stopped eating and exercising as a result. She was placed on morphine tabs twice a day and this seems to have helped reduce the pain tremendously. She had breakfast this morning for the first time in two weeks.

She is scheduled to start chemo next Tuesday and it looks like radiation treatments will begin on her hip area in between the chemo treatments. We will know more in two weeks after her chemo and we meet again with her radiologist.
