peacelover Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Great News Ya'll- My mom went back to work after her 3 month FMLA.She had her last chemo of this round last week. She took the leave because the docs said the Alimta would be really hard on her but as it turns out the neulasta shots give her worse side effects than the chemo does... Her SOB is gone as well as those pesky tumors that were on adrenal, thyroid and in her brain..and the lung tumor has shrunk(although still there) Doc says she tolerates this chemo so well and it is doing the job well so she will be on this long term-or until something better comes along. Just wanted to share some great news! Blessings Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
