Today Kris had her 4th chemo infusion and met with her oncology "team." They were very encouraged by her progress, with her blood work all on track. And she's looking healthier than she has. Her oxygen levels without the breathing tube are around 98% now, which means she only has to use the oxygen "when needed" (this right after we just ordered a bunch of extension tubes and connectors online, DOH!) Her main chemo meds are PARAPLATIN and TAXOL - along with sedatives, anti-nausea and other pre-Chemo meds. A whole double-dose visit takes over 4 hours, not including transportation and wait time. The specific name of the type of cancer she has is Primary Peritoneal Gynecological Cancer (it even has a medical acronym, PPC).
Follow our beloved Kris through her journey within the healthcare industry.
