My mom went to the doctor Friday and got some bad news. They found a tumor on her right lung (all of her melanoma tumors are on her left side) and on her spleen. This means the TAXOL treatments didn't do any good. He now wants to try another treatment, one pill she'll take weekly and one experimental injection (not FDA approved yet) which she'll have to go to Houston once a week. She may not even qualify for this treatment because to take one of them, you have to have 1 strong lung. Her left lung is damaged and weak now from radiation.
She's scared now, but knew that it was coming. I'm terrified. I told my son and he didn't show any emotion, I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing.
I don't know who to talk to....
Thanks for letting me get this off of my chest.
