Its been a bit since our last post. Cassandra had her second treatment without any problems. Tomorrow we see our oncologist for her mid treatment review. It was at this point where we were going to decide if she needed scans or not. That fact that Cassandra continues to get better everyday means that we will hold off on scans until all 4 treatments are completed. So tomorrow should be a pleasant "Hello, how ya doing?" and back home.
As far as Cassandra goes, she is still doing amazing. We have continued to lower her steroids so that she can get some strength back in her legs. Its still early yet but she is seeing some improvement. Her pains meds are strictly 12 hour extended relief drugs with nothing needed in between. Her seizures have gone down to about one a week. Her spikes of pain are also about one a week. She still spends most of her days in bed watching TV and trying her hardest to read. Cassandra used to be an avid reader so this is the hardest thing for her.
Cassandra has been talking about how much she is looking forward to the holidays and seeing all her family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Her outlook is pretty bright these days.
