Monday morning with Mary was chemo 2 of round 4. If it doesn't make sense to you it somehow means something to me! I met Dr. Kumar, who for now, will be taking over my oncology care. She seems like a very pleasant and knowledgeable doctor who comes highly recommended. For the next 3 bi-weekly sessions we will be continuing with the protocols that Dr. Erlich set up. After me next scheduled scan, towards the end of March, we will make a determination as to continue the treatments at Sinai under Dr Kumar or to seek out and continue the future treatments with Dr. Erlich.
As far as today's treatment went, for some reason I was really tired . The treatments seem to take about 4 to 5 hours. Nothing unusual. Just normal for the blood work, pre-meds and then the 3 chemo drugs. Dr. Skaryak came towards the end of the treatment to remove the chest tube stitches. It was quick and painless and she was pleased with how everything looked. She was cautiously optimistic about what she saw visually of the right lung and how it should respond to the chemo. Time will tell!
Carpe Diem.
