CHEMO AGAIN
This morning we got up early to drive to Texas Oncology for an 8:45 appoinment with Dr. Hancock and another round of chemo. The blood tests that they run show that Lou's white and red blood cells are normal as is her blood pressure which is good news. We will call in Friday to see what the CA125 number is. Dr. Hancock couldn't give us any prediction on how many more chemos will be required until he sees the CA125 results.

Lou had a great nurse, Jane Aves, and didn't even feel the needle insertion and had no pain or bleeding with the infusion of carboplatin and taxol (the new stuff). We had Ashley and Ross come by with lunch at noon and enjoyed visiting with them. Ashley has her Christmas tree up and decorated with the stars that they bought at the Lord's Acre. She is driving to Denton for class tonight. Lou was through with chemo at 1:30 and we were home by 3:45 with no phone calls on the machine. Mark called from Japan to check on Lou. They are skipping Hawaii due to the hassle of a two day visit. He has a doctor's appointment Monday in FW.
