Mom had her second round of chemo. The oncologist said the first round was a little more than half of a normal dose. He took a lot of time to talk about how aggressive her cancer is -- they continue to look at samples from the biopsy ("they" meaning the experts at OHSU). He also went through her blood test numbers thoroughly, all leading to a conclusion that she should have the full dose of chemo for this round.
A very full day, getting to the appointment at 9:00 and leaving just after 4:30. She went home with a Nulasta pack attached to her belly, which will release hormones in about 24 hours to boost white blood cells.
She will have labs next week, and a third round of chemo in three weeks (October 26). She loves the nurses.
She came home, opened mail, and took a three-hour nap.
