Kelly and I had a good trip to Johns Hopkins. My lead oncologist there reminded me a great deal of Dr. S in terms of his thoughtfulness and responsiveness to our questions. There were a few ideas put forth, but nothing set in stone. When things are ironed out a bit more, we'll talk about them. (No need to drag you all along on a roller coaster ride...especially one that often gets stuck!)
I have not been responding well to chemo - the side effects have sidelined me to the point that I slept 18 hours per day for a few days. My treatment this week was delayed because I was dehydrated and unable to eat. (I have lost about 25 pounds since Christmas. Of course...the one year I don't make losing weight a resolution!!!) I have been going in every other day for IV hydration and on Tuesday I will try chemo again, though at a lower dose. I am also going to try a patch to help with the stomach upset that my friend Courtney swears by - I am hopeful that it will work as well for me as it did for her husband.

Rethinking those "special" brownies, aren't you?
They worked for my son years ago when he was on chemo for 3 years!!!
Here's to hoping that the patch will work for you.
