Dr. Albano, Faye's Attending Oncologist, just stopped by our room to tell us that the mass has decreased -wow- 50%!!!  Faye will definitely get a port.  Dr. A will be back in later to show us the before and after x-rays and discuss the surgery.


We are at Children's and have just started our first day of Chemo for Round 2. Each round starts with 8 days of intensive chemo and drug therapy: the first day is a full day of 6 different chemos, the next two days are only 3 tor 4 more chemos which take a few hours each day, the 4th day we come back in for a quick injection, followed by 2 days of oral pills at home, then we come back to the clinic for one more day of chemo.  Amazing how time flies while it drags in slow motion at the same time.    ~Lolly
