Update Thursday Evening

The installation of the port for IV therapy went very well mid-day today. She moved to the oncology floor on 12 East.

The docs determined that she has some kind of a bug in her stomach due to the antibiotics she's been taking so they have switched her to a more specific antibiotic that should take care of this in the next couple of days. Because of this, they moved her to a private room which was a relief to her. Everyone entering her room must be gowned.

Jeff was with her as she began the Retuxin and she tolerated it well. She is really sleepy though due to many drugs of one kind or another.

I'm so glad the port install went well (that will make things SO much easier), AND that she was moved to a private room. I know the double wasn't the best scenario.

Jan, can you lay out what the schedule for chemo is as best you know?? Like, when does the Retuxin stop, and the next one start?

XOXO,
K
