monday funday

Mom is still very shaky. She is gradually increasing her intake, post hospitalization. She will have her blood drawn on Thursday to see where her various counts are. We are hoping that her levels continue to improve and by next Friday, when she sees her oncologist Dr. C, she will be greenlighted for her new chemo protocol, Alimta.

We'll see how this dna/rna suppressing drug works on the cheneys. This treatment usually takes only half-an-hour so at least mom won't be spending all day in the chemo ward.

If she is given the greenlight, she will go right in next week Friday afternoon. Treatment will be every 3 weeks but we don't know how many will be recommended. Stay tuned.
