No chemo yesterday- CT instead

Ruth was supposed to have her last treatment of chemo before her PET scan in a few weeks, it did not happen she had a CT scan instead. She has not been feeling well since Sunday. She is noticing that her belly is getting bigger again, she is tired, achy, and in pain. When she walked in the nurses asked how she was doing, not that it was horrible but she mentioned that she was not doing well. After talking with the doctor and getting a consult from him they decided to withhold chemo for that day and do a CT scan (they did do it yesterday) and see what the results were. There is no sense in putting chemo in her body if it is not effective. We should have the results sometime today. Last time she had a CT scan it showed that it had spread to her liver so hopefully if we need to know anything we should be able to see it on the scan results. As soon as we have the results we will post info- hopefully at the latest by the end of the week. Please be praying for a miracle that all the discomfort is the chemo and God’s work working!

Thanks for your prayers!
