7/29/08
Soni had chemo #6 yesterday (7/28/08), and all went well. She still feels fine today, but will probably bomb out around Friday night or Saturday if the past record remains on course.

She has a PET-scan this Friday, 8/01/08, to see whether the cancer is still shrinking. If so, they will go ahead with 2 more RCHOP treatments of chemo.

For 5 days after Soni's last chemo on 7/03/08, she felt OK. But the bottom dropped out Tuesday and she slept almost 24/7 until Monday 7/14 when she was able to function again. She had another "blood-letting" today (7/15) and it turned out to be about the same as the last one. She seems to feel great today.

Her chemo #6 will be on 7/28/08.

Chemo #5 was completed today. The results from the PET Scan last week indicated that there is only one small piece of cancer left in the center portion of the thorax. The rest have all vanished. So things are continuing to look up. She will have her blood drawn and tested next Tuesday, 7/08/2008.

The only downside at this point is that Soni's meds will keep her going and feeling pretty good for the next 5 days, but at that point she will bottom out and feel really down and out for about a week before she starts to build up her energy again. The downer week is the week of the reunion, so she is not sure if she will feel like going. We will just have to wait and see.
