September 23rd update

Nancy had her appointment with Dr Anthony.  All her labs were good.  Nancy did not get any treatments.  She will have Zomeda on Wednesday and resume chemo next Monday.  Nancy's eyesight has been hampered by the steroids.  Also, she lost weight last week and another 2 pounds since last Friday.  She was too weak to start the chemo today.

Looking forward, she will have 6 chemo treatments (2 cycles of 3 weeks on, one week off).  There will then be a full series of scans.  Then right around Thanksgiving, Nancy will start a new medicine treatment as her cancer has fairly dramatically changed to HER2+.  Dr Anthony has at least 3 FDA approved drugs to try.  He will base the final decision until the scans are done. 

It could be another few weeks before Nancy is recovered from post radiation tiredness.

Your support is great........we have a new plan.......and hoping for the best!
