I met a wonderful oncologist for a second opinion up at UCLA today. He answered all my questions and was willing to stay longer to answer more. He thinks Cisplatin and Etoposide are the way to go to blast these unruly cells and send them on their way. I will see him again in 6 weeks after I have been toxified with chemo. He will decide what the next step will be.
Chemo starts tomorrow at the oncology office and then Sat and Sun it will be at Hoag Hopsital. I really have no idea what I am getting myself into except for all the stories I am sure all of you have heard. The doctor thinks I will feel better after the initial 2 weeks of utter crappiness. I am committed to being a couch potato for a while if that is what it is going to take to get me through. The kids have instructions to feed me every 3 hours. ha! We shall see how that works out. Luckily, I have only lost 2 lbs so far. Force feeding has never been my forte, but I am learning.
