From my Aunt Caroline: A Joan Update

“Joan and I met with the oncologist a couple of weeks ago and the news was not good.  The cancer had gone beyond the breast and even though  it is not active now, the chances are likely that it will return in 6 months.  Needless to say we were very upset.

She started her new chemo treatments last week and will do chemo once a week for 12 weeks and will also take pills, 3 twice a day for 2 weeks then a week off then back on for 2 weeks, this will continue for 12 weeks.  We’re praying that she doesn’t get sick like last time.”
