BACK TO DALLAS

Yesterday they removed 2 liters of fluid off of Delight's lungs. With this fluid gone she should be able to breath a lot better. They also did a x-ray of her lungs and all the fluid was gone. They are going back to Dallas today to see the Radiologist. She thought that she might start radiation today. There is a special machine that they are going to use for this radiation. With this machine it shoots the radiation only on those 2 spots not the whole head. They do not have this machine in Texarkana so she will have to do her radiation in Dallas. She had hoped to do it in Texarkana.

She will be starting a chemo pill today. She will take the pill 14 days on and then 7 days off. She takes 4 pills in the morning and will take 4 pills in the afternoon.

I just talked to her and she sounds so much better than she had been sounding. She said that she felt good she was just tired. She said that she got a really good nights sleep last night.

Last night the "Birthday Club" had a party for her. She was able to make it and had a good time!! She got a lot of nice gifts!!

She is going to call me when she gets done at the doctor. I will try and post later this afternoon with how he wants to treat her.
