Second Dose of Chemo


Yesterday afternoon was Sally's second dose of chemo. We both had a little nervousness about how it would be tolerated. This infusion was in Dr. Conlon's office where they have lounge chairs for the patients and an attentive nursing staff. She had her pre-dose blood tests done and then the chemo was started. Her blood tests showed continued improvement: Platelets 273,000, White blood cell count 13,000 and Hemoglobin 10.3. So we and Dr. Conlon were pleased and he agreed that the bone marrow was acting much better indicating that the tumor had regressed and he felt that the blood counts would not be a problem after chemo. The regimen was steroid and the Anzemet (dolasetron) for nausea followed by the Taxotere. The entire process took about 2 hours and then Sally was able to come home. She felt great during and after the chemo. She really gets jazzed up with the steroids--kind of manic--and feels really good. She worried that she wouldn't get to sleep last night but a little Ambien helped that fear and she had a good night. This morning she has eaten a big breakfast and still feels good. So we are both very happy at the outcome and this means that future doses should also be tolerated well. We will see how she is later today and tomorrow as the steroid effects wear off but I think she will be fine. One more picture taken before the chemo.
