According to the cancer specialist the cancer had not only spread to 3 lymph nodes , but was also in some membranes. This increases the risk somewhat of it spreading further. The medication that will be started in about a month is "Xeloda". It is a powerful newer medication and it is very expensive. Since you take this at home you have to pay for it yourself. Yes I know, that is the system. Total cost, as far as I can make out, for this medication alone, is between $1,200 and $1,700.
The good news is that the liver is clear. Trudy is in good spirits and feels she will be able, with Gods help, to overcome this health problem. The wound is healing nicely now and the pain is manageable. When the wound is satisfactorily healed the Chemo treatment will start.
