“Hello my friends and family. Thank you for all the love you have been flooding me with. Craig too. You can almost feel it with your fingers!
Tomorrow is Chemo Day #1 for me. Yesterday Craig, our friend Ginny, and I went to a Chemo Teaching session. It was a great session. I think the doctor, Dr. Paul Unger and his Nurse Practitioner, Susan Hooper are going to be ultra easy to work with. Susan didn’t even bat an eye when I presented her with the 2-page list of dietary supplements that Beth wants me on! She approved them, modified one dosage….. and that was that.
The plan is to start me on 45 minutes of anti-nausea, steroids, Benedril (bet that puts me right to sleep!) & Zantac prior to starting the Taxol and eventually the Carboplatin. I’ll be there 3 hours.
This will be repeated (minus the Carboplatin) for the next 2 weeks & then I get a week off before we start the whole routine up again.
Much will depend on how my body acts….. so stay tuned for updates.”
We’re a few hours ahead of you, so you’re about to wake up.
Just a note to let you know we’re thinking of you.
Go for it Tammi!!
Love, René and Mary
(wonder if you get this twice now ?)
