Next Round of Treatment

Today Jenny went into MSK for what she thought was the final set of treatment in her first round of Chemo therapy.  Unfortunately this is not the case.  As it turns out, today she starts her second round of treatment.  So, in summary she is getting:

            Week 1  Heavy Chemo
            Week 2  Regular Chemo
            Week 3  No Chemo

Jenny is there right now with Alan who is being a big help to Jen and I by filling in the gaps.  So, my understanding may not be completely accurate.

I said unfortunate above as Jenny was expecting to have light to moderate side effects from this week’s treatment.  This is not probable.  It is more than likely that she will be in a very unpleasant way.  I look at it a different way.  To me, she is a little further along in killing this terrible thing that has for some reason attacked her.

I will stop here as I really do not have much more information at this time.  Additionally, I am in a bit of a funk and somewhat conflicted.  I do need to point three things before I post.

1.     Thanks to all of you who have made your way into MSK to donate blood.  There have been quite a few of you and it is greatly appreciated!!

2.     The cooking contest had an outside entry from my good friends Mike and Maria.  Lasagna with a side of broccoli, fresh Italian bread, Pellegrino water and pastry desserts.  Very good!  Just like mom made….  Or was that my grandma?   All very confusing.

3.     Jimmy F, regardless of your comment, you are just jealous as even with my hair cut short, there is more total hair on my head then on yours!  Get use to it!

Thank you all for helping us through this hard time.  We know that you are doing whatever you can for us.
