Headaches gone!

Great news! Her headaches are gone. She said, " this is the best I have felt in a week. I think that was it mom". "IT" was probably inter cranial pressure. Her oncologist ordered medicine to decrease the fluid and the pressure in her eyes after hearing that she was still having mild but annoying headaches over the weekend. It seems that the medicine is working! hallelujah!! The pressure is most likely caused by the ATRA medicine that she is taking which is the main "cure" for her type of cancer. She only has to take the ATRA for 2 weeks at the beginning of each 84 day cycle. She is in the beginning of her 3rd cycle. The ATRA will be finished this Friday for this cycle and she will be weaned off the headache medicine.
