With this amount of success we discussed halting the remaining chemotherapy to begin radiation on the cancer in her brain. This will give us a chance to treat the cancer in the brain as well as to begin treating her with blood thinners to reduce her risks of another blood clot. Once this is completed we can finish out the chemotherapy and are hopeful she can stop taking the steroid that is likely contributing to her weakness and fatigue.
