The day started with admission to the hospital at 9:00am. We had to wait for a room in oncology, so didn't get to the room until 10:30.
The chemo then had to be ordered, and after much waiting Marge starting getting her first cancer drug Taxol at 11:30. The second drug, IFEX, was started at 4:00pm. This is given at the same time with another drug to neutralize its bleeding side effects. This last set of drugs take a total of 12 hours, which means they will conclude at 4:00am tomorrow morning.
Marge's next two days of treatment will only consist of the IFEX regime, which is administered 24 hours later. Hence Thursday and Friday's treatment will be from 4:00pm to 4:00am...... Boy am I glad Marge is in the hospital for this one (only way it could be administered..)
Thanks for your prayers and encouragement,
Jim
