Here We Go!

Tomorrow’s the big day; phase one of the SIR Spheres treatment. It will be a long day at the hospital. Mommy will be there with me. You may recall that the new chemo regime I started called for two weeks on then one week off. That would have meant that last week was a scheduled week off. Then, since the chemo had to stop two weeks before radiation, which is next week’s phase, I would be done with chemo for a while. But the Chemo Kaiser would have no part of that. She pulled out her calendar and figured out we could get one more treatment in last Thursday and still meet the two week requirement. So she shot me up again, the third week straight. And I’m feeling it. I was warned that the chemo agent Irenotecan often caused diarrhea and they were right. Very right. I have now officially renamed it I Ran to Can. I will be off chemo for a while now. That will be nice. It will be some time before we know if the SIR Spheres treatment is effective but I’m optimistic. For now. Carry on. ------------------------------------------
