I'm happy to hear that she's responding to chemo and not having too much trouble with side effects. It is also good to hear that her medical team is being aggressive in modifying her chemo, not just sitting back and relying on FOLFOX alone. The fact that THEY brought up going back to the tumor board is great. It sounds like she is in good hands!

Beaming good energy your way! :D
