Mom's visit to Dr Wang on Wed, August 15th (with Eileen)
Results from the blood work show that Mom's liver function numbers are out of range. This is a new development. Dr Wang feels the Nexavar may be to blame since the values changed so dramatically since the last time. He has taken her off the Nexavar for now and has ordered a new CT Scan so we can compare the liver to the original scan.
Mom's appetite had diminished which can lead to her feeling really tired. Her blood pressure is now too low so DR Wang lowered the dose of her blood pressure medicine back to the previous level.
We are hoping to get the CT scheduled right away and return to Dr Wang on Sept. 5th at 330pm
Kathi took Mom to KC from Aug 16th through Aug 20th to visit the family there. They had a great time. Spoke to Mom when she got back and she is feeling better. She has her appetite back!

Some questions I have:
Any update on the date of the CT scan?
Has the liver function returned to normal now that she off the Nexavar?
How has blood pressure stabilized since Dr. Wang lowered the dose of the BP medication?
Love to all,
Den
Mom's CT is scheduled on Sept. 4th. She is fine to go to this appointment by herself. They will get the results to Dr Wang in time for the appointment the next day. We will have blood work done again to check the liver function a couple of days before the 5th so Dr Wang can review all the info with us. I bought the portable blood pressure cuff after the last appointment. I'll email Mom and have her give us a full report on how it is tracking these days.
Love, Bean
