Family Meeting Today

Today we met with the Neuro Oncologist to discuss the treatment plan. Next week she will have a port put in near her collar bone. This will allow the doctors to administer the chemotherapy medication and it is also used to get blood for misc. lab work without poking her every time. The port will remain in place for the duration of chemo treatments. If all goes according to plan, she will begin chemotherapy treatment next week. Chemo will be administered inpatient over 3 days. She will have approx 21 days off and repeat this cycle 4 times total. After chemo is completed she will begin radiation for approx 15 days (Monday through Friday for 3 weeks). At varying points of treatment she will have MRI's to make sure she is responding to treatment.  I will, of course, keep you updated along the way.
