Cheryl had the final treatment of Round Two today. They began her IV (upper port) around 9 AM and gave her fluids for hydration. They also gave her Pepcid and Benadryl through the IV. Around 10:30 they started the IP (abdominal port) and delivered her dose of Taxol. After the bag was finished, she had to lie 15 minutes on each side for an hour (two flips each side) to allow the Taxol to work its way around her abdominal cavity.
We got home around 2:30 and so far, Cheryl's only complaint is a bit of bloating. She is once again having to take anti-nausea meds for several days even if she is asymptomatic. The nurse told her that the Taxol is much easier to tolerate than the Cisplatin that she received IP last week.
Continue to pray that these medicines she is receiving will push the cancer into remission and that her nausea will stay under control.
Thank you Lord Jesus for such good news and such good responses to treatment. I have been rejoicing in all the Lord is doing as we continue to pray daily for your healing.
