Chemo Treatment - Take 2

My mom (Sheree) is set for her 2nd attempt at chemo therapy tomorrow morning, Wednesday February 4th.  As long as everything goes according to plan she should be home by early tomorrow afternoon.  We are all just praying that her body is able to tolerate the new chemo therapy drug better than her previous one and that she will have a better outcome this time around.  

As many of you know by now, her chemo treatments had been placed on hold for a while due to the allergic reaction that she experienced during her 1st chemo therapy dose.  The treatments were place on hold while her Oncologist & Heart Doctors discussed the best treatment plan and options for my mom.  They have decided to switch her to another chemo therapy drug that seems to be better tolerated by most people and they will only be giving her 1 dose every 3 weeks in her upper port only.  For now, they will be leaving the port in her abdomen alone for the time being.  The good news is she only has to go in 1 time every 3 weeks for chemo instead of the 3 treatments in 3 weeks like she was originally set up to do.  

I will be updating this blog for my mom until she feels up to do it herself.  I will do my best to keep the blog updated with information as soon as I hear anything as to the progress of the treatment and how she is doing.  Thanks again for all of your love & support for my mom and our family!  It is truly appreciated!!!

Love,
