Update for 4/22- finally some answers

Ok we finally have some new information! The pathology report came back and it appears that Mom has Sarcoma but we still do not know the kind. Boston is still studying the make up of her cells and once we know the make up or kind of sarcoma they will determine the kind of chemotherapy treatment that they want to use. 
Tomorrow they are going to put a Mediport in on 4/23 which is more for long term rather than the pick line which is for short term. Chemotherapy treatments will begin as soon as radiation therapy stops on Monday. Monday 4/26 is her last radiation therapy session, number ten! yahoo! 
PT and OT are still working with her to try and keep her strength up by walking with a walker and by doing some upper and lower body exercises. They are also working on her balance. 
So we finally have some answers which is some what of a relief. 
Until we learn more... Love Jess
