Almost There!

Updates from 02/23/2009

• Gina saw Dr Schwartz today and he is working on getting a PET scan done (Reminder-a PET scan is scan of whole body from head to knees)
• Some concerns with Gina's right leg, having pain from hip to knee (same leg that was radiated and operated on in Sept 2007)
• Only FOUR more IMRT Radiations to brain (all done on Thursday) <>
• Another Brain MRI to see how Gamma Knife surgery to rear brain and IMRT Radiation to mid-brain has worked (I know it had to attack & completely eliminate cancer)
• Gina also sees Dr Jimenez on Thursday for follow-up to Gamma Knife
• Also, Gina still continuing Chemotherapy every three weeks - consisting of Herceptin, Zometa and Iron Infusion
• Tykerb (oral Chemotherapy) still taking daily

That's all for now but as you can see it is a lot on our plates.

Thanks for those who volunteered to bring or have brought meals but although we appreciate you all SO MUCH, making dinner is one thing that makes Gina feel like she is still needed and contributing to family. I also LOVE her cooking and think she is the best thing that happened to me!
