More treatments

Saw Sheren's oncologist yesterday.  The good news is "No More Radiation."  The bad news is at least two more rounds of chemo, but there will be a month off before we start the next one.  The doc says things are going according to plan except for the swallowing problems caused by the radiation.  So we get a break from the trips to Des Moines.

Not going well

The docs have stopped the chemo treatments because Sheren can't tolerate them.  She has had the full course of radiation and that's not helping her health either.  No food intake and when she tries to use the J-tube she suffers from serious digestive problems.  I have no idea where this is going to go, but it is beginning to scare the hell out of me.

On the road again

Monday was our first day back to treatment.  We had to be at the radiologist at 1030 and then the oncologist at 11.  The oncologist visit was very long.  Instead of being in the hospital for the chemo like last time, it is being administered in the oncologists clinic.  Sheren sits in a recliner while the drugs are given IV.  I sit in an uncomfortable chair in the waiting room and try to get a nap.  Luckily, the chemo is only once a week.  The radiation is daily.  We are going to be so worn out when this is done.
