Well, a quick update. We had great news but one small setback. The Pet scan showed something under Mom's right arm and the first onologist thought it was cancer but it turned out to be an infected cyst according to the second oncologist we have seen. It broken open so the next day, Mom saw the second oncologist and he drained it some but she has to get it lanced tomorrow by a general surgeon plus she is taking sulfa for it now. We tried to get her beast doctor to do it but she is on vacation. So the first oncologist thought she had early Stage IV but the second one says Stage III so that is some good news too. The downside is that it pushed her second chemo back a week.

Mom wanted to get her chemo closer to home so that is why we went to a second oncologist plus it is a good idea to go for a second opinion anyhoo. I think is many cases, there is a reluctance to use anti-biotics unless it is needed due to the problems they are having now.

Well, tonight, we fire up the 1982 Zenith to watch the Pittsburgh Penguins. B-) I hope they win tonight, they didn't do so well Saturday, she is a big Pens fan. BTW, one more thing, the first chemo seems to be have some positive affects too.
