Chemo Starts Smoothly

Although yesterday was another long day at MSK, all went pretty smoothly with the start of Cathy's chemo. She came home wearing a small fanny pack that holds the chemo container and it does not generally restrict her movement. Fortunately they had inserted the port during the surgery in Florida. Although Cathy was tired from the long hours, she sounded upbeat. She is scheduled to receive chemo every other week in this manner. Even though the site of origin has not been officially identified, the protocol being followed is the same as for gastrointestinal cancers. Our hope and expectation is that future sessions will be shorter.
