so far so good

Today is Saturday and a few days after Marie's chemotherapy and blood cell booster shot. Up to this point she has not had any after effects except for some redness on her face after the chemo. And even that went away after the next day.

free pie day

I will fill in the last two weeks in bit. Let me start with Marie began chemotherapy today. Carboplatin is the drug of choice this time. The whole thing took about an hour and a half. First a steroid was given, followed by anti nausea medication. Finally came the carboplatin. After it was done we went to Village Inn to get something to eat. Wednesday is free pie day.

Tomorrow she gets a shot to help boost the white blood cell count.

back from nih

We returned yesterday from NIH. They confirmed that the tumors had grown and had opinions on treatments. No more surgery. No more radiation. More chemotherapy. They had opinions on what types of chemotherapy to do as well. Marie has now become a patient of NIH, although her treatments will be done in Omaha. Then we will travel back to NIH in about 9-10 weeks to see if there is any progress.
