Monday #6 - the finish line in sight :-)

Hi all - Scott's blood tests were good today again, so things are a go for the chemo today. Blood pressures were low today, so it looks like extra fluids today. Scott's weight is down about 20 lbs. from start of treatment, since his other numbers and tests look good, and the nausea is under control, Scott will keep on pushing thorough, according to Judy, our clinical RN. We still need to see Dr. Lee today @ radiation...we are hoping she will agree.

Actual chemo and radiation will end on Wednesday this week, with us coming up for only the fluids on Thursday and Friday. As the family pharmacist, I will start to "pull back" on several of Scott's meds, so hopefully he will get back to his old self and even gain back a few pounds in the process. Re-evaluation tests the week of April 11th...with results and phase II treatment plan the following week.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers and encouragement.

Roxane
