Hershey Cancer Clinic 8/24/10

Well another day another treatment.

My doctor upped the dosage this time (not sure why she dropped it last time). If it kills more bad stuff, all the better.
It was a long day. We arrived around 11:30 AM and left at 6:30 PM and I have the pump attached until 4:00 PM on 8/26/10.

Nothing much else to report. The nurses are all really nice, supportive and informative about the drugs. They also all ask for Danny and Hanna.

I am scheduled for a CTScan on 8/30/10 and a doctor's visit on 9/1/10.

Then we are off to DisneyWorld on 9/5/10.

We NEED it.

Thanks to all for prayers, support and thoughts!!!

Well, I guess the third time is the charm.
Had the full treatment (listed in previous posts) for the third of four cycles.
I am scheduled again for 8/24/10.
If all goes well then, I will have a CT Scan pn 8/30/10 and see the results with the Dr. on 9/1/10.
And IF ALL GOES WELL - off to Disneyworld on 9/5/10 returning on 9/11/10.

Thanks once again for the thoughts and prayers.

Update 8-3-10

Failed to get chemo for the second time. First time was a low platelet count. Second time was a high heart rate and heavy chest congestion. They prescribed Cipro and Robitussin for the congestion.
I am scheduled to try again on 8-10-10.

If all goes well, I will be finished with this round on 9-1-10.

Thanks to all

Dan
