NEXT STEP

Looks like a different chemo is the next plan of choice. Today, Dave will meet with Dr. Robyn Harrison, vascular surgeon, to set up a time to have a new port put in. This will eliminate having to poke into veins everytime he needs chemo or blood draws. That's a good thing and actually a relief. We are not sure of the day when he starts his chemo, but it sounds like it will be 5 consecutive days as an out-patient, and will be done at "The Rock". He has had his previous chemos there and they are a wonderful group of gals. Will keep you posted.
