Wednesday night update

I'm Beth's little brother and I'm in technology but have never posted a blog before.. I apologize upfront for any confusion (multiple posts, wrong spellings, etc.) that may be included.In terms of good and bad days, I would classify this day as both. As written before, we received the good news that the tumor size has been reduced. This will require 3 more chemo sessions. As the doctor had hoped, the chemo appears to be working.The bad news is that the blood clot has not reduced and the pain in her leg continues. Her medication will be adjusted in an attempt to reduce the size of clot. (It currently runs from her thigh all the way down to past her knee.)She is also very groggy and sleepy, which could be a symptom of the multiple pain medications. The doctor is going to adjust the medication again.More to follow tomorrow.
