New Chemotherapy Begins

Chemotherapy at Dr Sipahi Office

  • Gina at Dr Sipahi office today for new Chemotherapy treatments
  • Dr Sipahi reviewed Dr Olopade's notes and agreed with treatments
  • Gina asked Dr Sipahi about getting a port put in and he said it would be okay
  • We told Dr Sipahi that Dr Brockman had the port surgery scheduled for this Monday (January 14, 2008) and he said to go ahead with it (Gina's veins do not need any extra stress from all the new IV treatments she will be getting, so I agree that she should have the port put in)
  • Gina had first dose of the three new Chemotherapies by IV at Dr Sipahi's office
  • Gina also had the Zometa, "super glue" for bones, since she was getting IV already
  • Dr Sipahi and Dr Olopade have Gina scheduled for Neulana (shot) on Thursday (01/10/08) that helps with side effects from Chemo

Hi Deanna, Eddie, and Lori,

Feeling ok today - that Chemo is a bit stronger than I expected, but I'm ready to keep going now. I am starting to loose hair, by next week I should be bald, so getting ready will be a snap, no fussing!

Our New Year is going great, going away this weekend, for a wrestling tournament, just what the Doctor ordered ~ a little R & R, can't wait.

You guys are also in OUR prayers, and we think of you often. Thanks for the offer on the rides to practices, and tournaments, treats & chats, and the help with an errand someday - I will be taking you guys up on them!! You guys are truly amazing!

Love and blessings are being sent your ways!!
