Oncologist Appointment

Thanks to those who checked in RE SIL Bets appointment. My apologies for not getting this updated right away... Husband has just returned from his annual fishing trip ~ 5 nights this year...and you all know how much I miss him like crazy and stay as busy as possible.

The three of us (SIL L, Bets and I) met with Dr. D? Dr. E? I keep getting confused with which one is his first name and which one is his last :) and he was GREAT. We all liked him very much. He is optimistic and had a plan all laid out for us. Chemo will start as soon as they can get a port in so probably the 3rd week in July... running every 2 weeks... she'll go into their office to get it ~ taking 3 hours and then have the chemo sent home with her on a pump at home for 48 hours ~ she'll go back to the office to have the pump removed and then have 12 days off... and back at it again... shouldn't loose her hair or yiff but might feel "off" ~ fatigue will be the biggest thing... she's looking at this schedule for the next 6 months.

Physically, she's doing OK and got her staples out yesterday... mentally... we are ALL staying positive and ask that you do as well....looking for a cure here. :)

She has a genetist appointment tomorrow with the same one that Husband saw and he's going to that appointment with his sister. Helping the scientists to try and put together a puzzle. Whatever THAT means :)

Thanks for the prayers and keep 'em comin'.
