Finally, getting back to you Pam X. Our daughters doctor has in creased the chemo 6 treatments at 3 times the dose as last time with 3 weeks inbetween treatments. She has had her first treatment and it was really rough. She agreed to 1 more at triple strength to see if it is better than the first. She has lost hair, has some nueropathy and the hot flashes have come back too. But the worst was the bone pain. She said every bone in her body hurt.
She is getting Paclitaxel and Carboplatin this time. First time was Paclitaxel and Adriamycin.
The doctor said if it is that bad again he will do the remaining 4 at the lower dose but that would mean 12 more treatments to go. We will see how she does. Next treatment is Aug. 3.
She is doing a list of things, protein shakes, mostly, fruit and vegetables capsules, no soy. Plus B6 and sublingual B12. Some other things that the doctor advised. No sugar. Very little meat.
Continued prayers for all the gals and if I missed anything you asked, let me know.
I gave the book recommended to me for Tracy and also a book on what to have in the kitchen for cancer patients. Think I am going to bring the cook book back till she is back on solid foods. We can try some of the recipes in the meantime.
