Donna had a meeting with the doctor on Monday. This is where things sit right now:
She has two spots on her lung that are cancerous.
She has several spots on her liver that are also cancerous. These growths most likely came from the lung.
The type of cancer is Small Cell Carcinoma.
Her first round of chemo starts October 29th and goes for 3 days. It will be systemic chemo (meaning, it will not be localized to just one part of her body), which can be pretty rough. They then give her 25 days to recover and then give her another 3 days of chemo. This cycle will continue for 4-6 rounds and they will evaluate its effectiveness.
Surgery is not really an option. They could remove her lung, but they cant remove her liver.
Donna's heart is doing well... The pacemaker that was installed seems to be doing the job well, and things on that front have stabilized.
