First I’m glad your dad is doing good. I’m ok, going tomorrow for my last chemo infusion that takes 4.5 hours to complete. Thanks for asking.

Last Thursday! I hope that it has been effective, and that you aren’t miserable afterwards (or at least that it doesn’t last long.)

Thanks. The drug is Paclitaxel and if it’s like the original chemo I took it’s side effects get incrementally worse. Luckily I only have to have two infusions of it so it won’t get as bad as the original treatments that were six infusions.

We have a little lady at church who used to find mom every Sunday. Mom always said it felt like Mrs. Jackson was trying to hug her own strength into her.

Update on wife’s aunt. Copied this from a group text sent out by her daughter. Sorry for so long lol



update on mom

Dad went up to see her this evening and said things are going great!

They started to ween her off the paralyzing meds today and plan to take her off of them completely tomorrow.

Today they had the bed open where mom was laying on her back and she tolerated that really well also! They are planning to move her to a regular bed once the doctors make their rounds tomorrow.

She is still on the blood pressure meds but it is a low dose.

X-ray shows some improvement! AND the pocket of air/fluid is going away, so NO CHEST TUBE right now!

This is still a slow process and we need to keep praying for her as much as possible! She is amazing and such a fighter, let's pray she continues to heal and gain strength to get through this completely.

I’m wound up this morning. The blonde one is going in for her consultation for her hysterectomy but there’s also a clinical trial she’s been asked to join.

This is what GVG went through HMan. Don't know how it compares. 6 rounds, 3 weeks apart.

Often drugs from different groups are combined. One of the most common combinations is called CHOP. This includes the drugs cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (also known as hydroxydaunorubicin), vincristine (Oncovin) and prednisone. Another common combination leaves out doxorubicin and is called CVP.
Chemo is often combined with an immunotherapy drug, especially rituximab (Rituxan).

I’ve been taking the immunotherapy drug Keytruda for about two years. It killed all the metastatic lesions but left the original lesion in my right upper lobe that has been held in limbo all this time until three months ago when a CT scan showed it starting growing again thus adding the chemo. This drug is a plant alkaloid, a taxane and a antimicrotubule agent. Also taking carboplatin. When I was first diagnosed I was getting two platinum based chemo drugs that were super toxic.

Prayers continued for all. Including adding “pb&j” Aka the guy that would embarrass Joe’s post count if his old name was here

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Oh man, hope everything is okay.

She appears to be fine. She's alert, speaking, walking around, feisty, dropped a F bomb.

Platinum based chemo sucks boss and you know that but I firmly believe that you and the Lord got this. Just get them to give you some super roids to help with appetite and make them bones feel good!

Damn man, glad she appears to be ok. Good she is getting checked for any hidden injuries but the f bomb sounds like she is kicking its ass.
