On to chemo...

Hi everyone:

Kathleen's stats continue to show few signs of rebounding, although doctors are giving her both whole blood and platelets before and after her port placement surgery this afternoon. If all goes well, she will receive a chemo cocktail of Taxol and Carboplatin starting tomorrow. The side effects from these drugs don't sound fun.

Patty and I both stayed with Kathleen last night. This morning, Denise brought Kathleen an ENORMOUS stuffed bear...it's not much smaller than Kathleen.

I'll try to provide an update after her surgery this afternoon...along with some photos we snapped last night and today.

Love,
Brian
