Mom began Sutent in 2007, when it was decided that Avastin was no longer keeping her stable. The cancer was growing again. She began this about the same time that we had to move to Alabama for Nathan’s flight school. It was very hard for me to leave her. Sutent was much more of a traditional chemo. It was a pill that she had to take every day. It was very hard on her. She lost SO much weight, lost a lot of her hair, and was very uncomfortable. She was very anemic and had to have regular blood transfusions. She took Sutent for one year. Thankfully, she had made some amazing friends in Houston and I knew she was in good hands.
August 2008, my brother got married. My mom said that was the only thing she wanted to see, was to know that Matthew was taken care of. She went to Six Flags and rode the Evil Knievil roller coaster! I thought that was gonna kill her! But she loved roller coasters and was determined! (See the picture in the video tribute above)
