That’s all for Taxol!

Everyone – repeat in unison “That’s all for Taxol!”
First – mea culpa – I’ve been chastised for not Tweeting about today’s treatment.  Oh – and if you don’t know what Twitter and Tweeting is – be thankful.  Be. Very. Thankful.
So - Good news this morning –
The Evil Enzyme Twins - Aspartate Transaminase and Alanine Transaminase remained at lower than the insane levels that they have been over the last two weeks.   The result – the normal, and now past tense series of meds and chemo were able to be administered today! Heparin, Saline, Pepcid, Saline, Dexamethasone, Saline, Taxol, and Heparin again to pickle the VAD until the next time. 
We meet with Dr. Hammond in a week and a half to finalize the Medical Oncology phase, and then a brief respite before Radiation kicks in. 
Tracy’s up from her post-Taxol nap, so I assume she’ll come up with some retort or another…

  5. Tracey, your hair looks a lot like mine does in the mirror. No hope for regrowth for me. Hope yours turns out better.
