Yesterday, Jan had her port surgery (surgically installed for easier access to chemo) and another PET scan.
This morning she went in for her first day of chemo, she met with her oncologist who, after yesterday's PET scan determined that there are also tumors in her liver and also the area surrounding her heart.
Overall chemo went well, she did have a reaction to the chemo, which they said was normal, and tonight she is doing okay.
Tomorrow we will find out if her cancer is, in fact, Double Hit or Double Aggressive. If it is, then she will have to start an aggressive round of chemo where she will have to be admitted to the hospital on Thursday for 5 days so they can keep a close eye on her. If it is not, she will have another round of the same chemo she had today on Thursday at the cancer center. We are still hoping it is not double hit, but due to the amount of pain she was in over the weekend, her doctors believe it is.
We appreciate all the calls and support pouring in, but ask again that Jan gets her rest while she awaits her next round of chemo and please keep your well wishes to Facebook, Email and Text. Also please understand that she may not be able to get back to you since her body has been through a lot today and needs rest.
