Mom met with Dr. Berlin to discuss chemotherapy treatment. It most likely they will begin on Thursday and plan to give Mom Taxol and Carboplatin. Some potential side effects include tingling in fingers, aches and pains, and mouth sores. Hair loss will occur 15-16 days after 1st treatment. She will have a treatment once every 3 weeks and they will monitor blood counts and take a CAT scan after the 3rd or 4th round. The doctors will check Mom's incision tomorrow to make sure it is safe to proceed.
Dr. Russell also came in to see Mom's incision and felt that it was healing well.
Lasix started functioning late again, fortunately Anna spent the night to help Mom. Also, Mom's bowel "woke up" last night, but we need to continue praying that they would fully awake.
