Chemo again

So Dave got to the infusion clinic about 9 am. After Joni and Dave told them he had a small reaction with the second Taxol round, he got a lot of pre-medications including Decadron and Benedryl. That means he wasn't done until close to 4 pm. But one down, one to go. So, appointment with the radiation oncologist moved back to follow chemo. Plan is to get brain MRI along with CT scans following next chemo in 4 weeks. Then we will prioritize chemo and the possibility of target radiotherapy surgery. Best timing for MRI is 6 to 8 weeks following radiation to the brain. MD also mentioned we can do the same for Dave's lung masses at some point too. Dave was so ready to go home, he stood up and started putting his coat on when we finalized the plan....."are you ready to go home Dave?" Thanks to Joni and Julie for being with Dave all day while I was working. Mom stayed with the dogs too. What great family and friends we have.

ps- found out today that Taxol doses are not accumulative, so side effects start all over. Although, Carboplatin doses after 7 can cause allergic reaction.

About 5 pm, we sat in the back yard for awhile and visited with neighbors; Kris, Kevin and Bela. Now time for pot pies and cottage cheese......
