In spite of being at BI all day for a chest x-ray, blood work and meeting with my doctor, I have to go back tomorrow to try another combination of taxol called Taxatir. I was premedicated, but had an allergic reaction to the taxol or to the agent which it is suspended in. They couldn';t even start the carboplatin because the agents work better together and they prefer to do the taxol first (for some reason). This other combination has a different side effect profile. Since it has the best efficacy, they will try tomorrow starting at 10. So we will update the blog as things develop.

Sorry for the test. Sometimes this recognizes me and sometimes not.
Bummer about the chemo. It is hard enough to have to ready for something you don't want to do much less twice. What was the reaction. At least now you know the routine.
Look forward to Nonquitt. I hope it is as beautiful there as it is here. After two very cloudy days here I sent Barrand and Jeremy to Denali so of course today it is sunny and beautiful and a moose ran through the yard.
Beth is in Fairbanks doing a clinic so tonight I read on the porch in the late night sun.
Good luck. Love to Bill ad the kids.

Hi Maura,
How was that garden show you went to a few weeks ago ~ beautiful, I bet.
It is good to learn the docs are being very careful with the meds, they will find the right combo for you, it is worth the wait, though frustrating.
Maura, you've been in our dreams! Both Robert and I have had dreams about you. We both saw you strong, vibrant (in my dream you were in bright turquoise.) and cheering us on.
Our best to you, Bill, Emily, and Nathaniel.
love,
Cassy and Robert
