I just talked to my mom and she was able to get her results sooner than expected.
Good news: There is no bowel obstruction and the lesions on her liver and gallbladder and in her abdomen haven't changed significantly since her last scan in May.
Bad news: She has a lesion on her left temporal lobe. She has a consult with a neurologist or neurosurgeon (not sure which) on Tuesday to see if she needs to have surgery, radiation or both.
Her oncologist believes that the stomach issues may be a combination between her brain and abdominal lesions. His goal is to get her eating, retaining food and to start weaning her off of the IV fluids. He started her on steroids today and she is going back for 1 liter of fluids a day for the next 7 days and then see how she is doing.
So not great news and we still don't know a whole lot. I guess we will find out more on Tuesday. Ironically, we are both consulting with surgeons that day.
