Round Four of Chemo

Dr Sipahi Visit @ Riverside Medical Center

• Trip to Dr Sipahi's office for fourth round of chemotherapy
• Follow up w/ Dr Sipahi went well - looked at recent bone scan which showed an improvement from original scans in femur.
• No other new bone cancer in the body was detected! (yipee!)
• Since Gina's kidney function is doing much better, Dr Sipahi increased level of Chemo and added new medicine (red blood stimulator) called Procrit
• Had to take Zometa again - "super glue" for bones
• At Dr Sipahi's office from 0930 until around 4:30 or 5:00 pm for treatment
• Dr Sipahi had his lovely staff members schedule CT scans for chest (lung), abdomen (liver) and pelvis (kidney) for Thursday March 27, 2008 - to coincide with MRI of brain that Dr Schwartz ordered (also same day)
• We wanted to take a moment to let all out there know that all of the "girls" at Dr Sipahi's office are God's little angels and have always treated Gina (and myself) wonderful and really go that extra step to make us feel so good.
• We will be off to Chicago again to see doctors Olopade and Knight on April 7th they will take a look at the new scans to see how much the chemo is destroying those cancer cells.
