Said Tonto to the Lone Ranger....

How 's Chemo sabe?

Betsy checked into Mercy Hospital yesterday for her first of four rounds of Chemotherapy. The two drugs being used are Cisplatin and Ifosfamide. The Cisplatin is being broken up into a couple of doses. Betsy had one yesterday and will get another today. After the Cisplatin the Ifosfamide will be administered continuously for three days . That's why why this and the subsequent rounds will be administered on an in-patient basis.

Betsy is doing fine.

I'll keep you posted as thing go along.

Four days in the hospital getting blasted by chemo! I hope they're doing a good job of keeping her as comfortable as possible. Please give Betsy a hug for me when you see her next. (A very careful hug since I'm sure she'll be feeling a bit delicate.)
