Monday, July 2, 2007: Round 6

Today was pretty much what we expected…no surprises. That’s always a good thing. We met with Dr. Downey this morning before chemo. He explained the next steps this way: get chemo today, check her CA125 level July 25 (round 7), then decide if he wants to change the chemicals. He said he is disappointed in how slowly her CA125 level is going down (it didn't get checked today)…but we already knew that. We know for sure there will be 3 more rounds after today. He will not be reversing the colostomy early because there is a remote chance that he may decided to use the stomach port again sometime.

The chemo today went as expected. We arrived about 10:30 ish and stayed until about 5. The kids did great at Dantuma’s…thanks again Brian and Janna!! So far Kristi is just a little tired from the chemo. She’s taking the Emend again this round (we call it the ‘wonder pill’). This is the pill that made her feel so great 2 weeks ago after the last dose of round 5. We’re hoping it has the same effect with this chemo treatment.

Continued prayers are appreciated. Thank you!
