More updates

So the plans were that Michelle was going to start Chemo tomorrow. We had decided to go to IU Simon Cancer Center in Indianapolis for a third opinion since we had two different opinions of the chemo treatment regimen. They were able to comfirm with the Dr. that recommended the AC followed by T and provided a lot of details as to why this was the best course of action along with the risks associated with it.

It really eased my mine and I think Michelle's also. We had already cancelled the appt for tomorrow so we will have to reschedule for maybe later this week. Michelle did have some problems last week with not having an appetite and feeling nauseous. It seems she may have had an infection near her port. Her Dr put her on antibiotics and she has been doing much better. Appetite is back to normal and nausea is gone.

I'm sure it seems that we having been going back and forth, but we wanted to make sure that we found the best care for Michelle. If you are reading this, you know she is worth it!! Now we are back on track and heading forward.

On another not. Cincinnati has a great ride, called the Ride Cincinnati. It raises money for the Barret Cancer Research center here in Cincinnati. Last year I rode 45 miles are raised around $750 in honor of Michelle's sister Ellen, who had breast cancer 3 years ago. This year I have created a team called Team PinkSky. If you are interested in Riding on the team, (you dont have to ride 45 miles) or just want to donate, go to http://www.ridecincinnati.org/team/pinksky to either register or donate.

I'll update you again tomorrow..

  1. Hi, long day yesterday, no doubt, but it is important to be comfortable as well as feel you have the best info to move forward. Let me know when you'd like to get out, or need food, or a chemo buddy or anything. Stey in touch.
