Pictures: Dave in the chemo room with his water and coffee- ready to go; Dave and Lee start the celebration; Dave- our funny boy; the last time for Taxol.
I woke up thinking this is the day, cycle 6 is going to happen. Dave's platelets were up to 73,000. The protocol at the Oncology clinic is 75,000 or greater. Since this was Dave's last full cycle, they said yes and I almost started crying. What a weight that's been lifted off of me and Dave. We had hats, noise makers, sparkling juice (3 bottles from Joni and Loni). Tim and Tom joined Dave and Joni for lunch and then they watched Monty Python. Also got Bits of Swiss rolls for the clinic nurses. Loni and Julie stopped by. What a great day. Oh, and Dave tolerated chemo well.
Now the test fun begins again. Heart Echo tomorrow morning; CT scans, PET scans and MRIs in the next 2 weeks. Results on Dec 22nd. Then the plan is for CP-751,871 every 3 weeks for 6 more doses. Dave is my hero. And to everyone who pushed us through... thanks.
WOO HOOOOOO!!!!! Again I am verklempt....SO happy chemo was a go today. And no more Taxol. That's gotta feel great. Dec. 22 will be the best day-after-birthday present Dave has ever had--BELIEVE IT!!
