Oncology 101

Today Rob and I went to see Dr. Welt at Corning Cancer Center. He was very kind and talked to us about the kind of cancer I have and what the treatment plan should look like. He is suggesting a DOSE DENSE treatment plan with one treatment every other week for 8 treatments. He told us that there is some really good evidence that changing out one of the normal chemo drugs and adding two others works much better at killing this kind of cancer. His staff were wonderful and are preparing me a complete treatment schedule that we can take to Roswell with us to compare treatment plans.

Rob and I both really liked this man - he was honest and caring and open to whatever choices we make about treatment.

Monday is Oncology 102. Til then,
All my love
