First Taxol Chemo treatment

July 27, 2018 I went to Lebanon on Monday for my first infusion of Taxol (the new chemo med). Call it anxiety, PTSD or whatever but that hospital makes me so sick!

MRI Results

July 17, 2018 Spoke with Dr. Patel today. She said the cancer is responding nicely to chemo and she is happy with the MRI results.

Neulasta

June 25, 2018 After every infusion I get a device placed on my arm which injects a medication called Neulasta 27hrs later.

But seriously IContinue reading “Neulasta”
