Insurance and scheduling have all come together and Cheryl will be starting back in chemotherapy at 11 AM Thursday at the Lewis Cancer Center at Candler Hospital in Savannah.. She will be under the care of Dr. Negrea, a general oncologist for this course.
According to the plan, she will be given anti-nausea medication and will then get a dose of Doxil followed by Gemzar. This will be followed in eight days by a repeat of the Gemzar. There will be a test of Cheryl's CA-125 level at the start of each 21 day cycle to verify the effectiveness of treatment.

On another note, the vascular surgeon's office called today and has scheduled Cheryl for an appointment next Tuesday to remove the venous filter they placed in her abdomen during her last hospital stay due to the clots in her pelvis.
Please be in prayer with us for the effectiveness of the drugs and Cheryl's safety and health through all of this.
I thought you were going to get your chemo in Hinesville? Will be praying for everything. Have fun with your son's family this weekend. Love you!
