Still going up

This morning, Jet spoke to his mom.

The good news is she has had her last dose of her current chemo drugs.

The bad news.  The cancer markers continue to go up.  So she started a new chemo drug.  This one is administered once a month.  The side effects are known to be worse.  It is known to be particularly hard on the heart.  She has been having swelling since the 3rd round of chemo.  She is to not get too warm.  Not to go outside when it is warm.  Not eat foods that are too hot.  Not to drink hot tea or coffee, or at least when they are hot.  She had her first round this past week.  There will be a total of 4 rounds.

What is the prognosis?  I don't know.  I asked Jet.  But he had not asked his mom.  She didn't say.  I'm guessing it is not as good as it was going into the first round of chemo.
