Friday: Resuming Chemo
Posted by stephanie on December 14th, 2007
The Infectious Disease doctor came by. He’s going to keep me in the hospital to finish up my IV antibiotics (Vancomycin) and finish the remaining course of pills at home. What does this all mean? I AM going home Saturday. We are all excited! We have cats and Zak thinks I’m his Mother. He cries daily looking for me. When I get home and he will ignore me for a day or two and then be attached to me.
The Oncology team is giving me my scheduled chemo (Avastin) today. They are also resuming Xeloda. I should have taken it for two weeks and I only took it for one week. I will go back to clinic next week and see what our plan is. The rash and sores are all diminishing so they are holding on steroids for now.

Hi Stephanie,
I’m an Kim’s sister-in-law from Anderson, IN & just wanted to let you know I’ve been praying for you & your family & will continue to do so. I work at Madison Park Church of God & compose the prayer bulletin so have had your name in our prayer bulletin as well. You really motivate me with your positive attitude & thoughts.
May God bless you immensely this week-end. Am so glad you are finally able to go back home.
Hugs & prayers,
Debbie
