Treatment Plan

We talked to Dr. Ganjoo this evening. I will begin chemotherapy sometime next week. I need to have a port (semi permanent IV port, I’ve had one before) installed first so that the infusions can be done through it instead of sticking me with a new IV each time. Chemo will be given every three weeks at this point. A scan about every six weeks will help determine what effect the chemo is having. Intervals between treatments as well as changes in drugs and dosage will be determined by the scan results. 

I am so very relieved to be moving forward with treatment. The chemo regime will have side effects, but they don’t sound as horrible as what I’ve had in the past. Dr. Ganjoo even told me to keep working, with the caveat that I plan to stay home the day or two after treatments if I need to rest or recover. She told me that I will “be bored” if I don’t work. Lol - I guess she must have finally figured me out. 

I don’t have many other details to provide at this time. I think we will just learn as we go. Still, I feel much better tonight than I did at the last post. It’s great to know we will start fighting this stuff next week!
