Pstar, 
Let's hope for the best. 
At the beginning of my Mom's illness, I became obsessed with statistics and case studies. That did not help at all. And then I've read it somewhere on this forum that statistics are for statisticians (God bless their soul) and 3 and a half years later I can conclude the same. It's also hard not to get all caught up with the good news, though. 
Please let me know about your results!

Thank you all for your good wishes, it's nice to not feel alone at frustrating times.
Another 2 months without treatment, disease has not progressed. 
Hope the good news made your day as well as mine.

Hello
I have written about my mom in previous posts. After completing her third line treatment with carboplatin+etoposide, she was on a "drug holiday" for 2 months and hopefully her CT scans from tomorrow will give her another few months of cheerful gardening and playtime with her grandchildren. 
Please keep your fingers crossed....
Best to all,
Kata

So glad to hear this.

Scanziety is real and we all go through it and so do our family members.  Prayers that the scans show good progress.

Goodluck for great ct scan results all the best

Fingers and toes crossed for a good scan for your Mom! 

Hey everyone!
My apologies, I did not realize she had not been posting and had a couple people reach out expressing concern that they hadn't heard from her.
Mom was in some pretty severe GI discomfort the 15th and 16th. She wound up asking to go to the hospital early AM on Monday the 17th. She was admitted in patient for severe constipation and was there until Friday the 21st when she discharged home.
Unfortunately it was a pretty short stay as she began having bloody diarrhea and was passing clots in her stool. So we went back to the hospital yesterday morning. She's currently admitted at Penn. They're still trying to figure out the details but they don't think she's actively bleeding at the moment.
Her care team sounds confident they can get it sorted and get her back in good shape. It's possible she may need to discharge to a rehab or SNF before she can go home.
Feel free to send me a direct message if you want to talk further, otherwise I'll update here as things progress or if anything changes.
