Chemo session #5 Report

Each week seems to get easier now that we are familiar with the "ropes".
Blood work stayed all in normal range again and Dennis has gained 2lb these past 2 weeks. He's back at 180 and hopes to get to 185 and hold. He is experiencing stabbing pain in his liver and Dr Grabelsky has decided to move up the mid point scan to next week from later in the month to explore what is causing this. Dennis takes percocet to relieve the pain and it does work well for him. If we can get the scan done early next week we'll try to get to Miami to see Dr Ardalan for his opinion. Dennis is hooked up to the chemo pump until Thursday afternoon and it will be removed at that time.
Natalie returns today after a 2 month study abroad in Spain and we are looking forward to having all her energy surround us and hear more about her adventures.
