I talked to my dad a bit ago because my mom had a follow up with her Oncologist this morning. The doctor says that after her 4th cycle of chemo there's not much improvement. He wants to give her 2 more cycles and have her come back in December for another follow up.

She wasn't with my dad when I called but he says that she was very upset about it.

I was feeling ok lately but today reality hit me again.

Oh Tica, I am so sorry that your mother's cancer has not responded to the chemo. My heart and prayers go out to you {{{Tica}}}
