Friday....September 25th....2009

Long day today.....Linda got the "low down" from the Oncologist tonight about her next regimen...looks like she will be on Alimta for at least 9 weeks (3 cycles)....there was not enough of the original biopsy to test the sample for the EFGR so the Tarceva is out for now....they would have to do surgery to obtain a sample big enough ....not a desirable option at this time....

We are clear then to go to Florida after the first infusion on October 13th. There is one infusion of the Alimta at the beginning of a three week cycle.....so for cycle 2 and cycle 3 we have to find an Oncologist in Florida who will work with our Oregon Oncologist.....a scan then would be done upon our return after the 9 weeks.

Friends Deb and Don came over tonight and we "feasted" on the halibut caught in Alaska as well as played a couple of great card games.....Deb recently went through ovarian cancer and has been an inspiration to Linda....in fact, both Don and Deb are great folks for Linda to "hang out with"......

Tomorrow we rest....
