New Chemo Started

Gina's Latest Updates!

  • Gina was unable to finish her last chemo round of Taxotere-Carboplaten-Herceptin due to neurothapy (nerve damage).
  • Gina started new chemo consisting of Xeloda pills and Herceptin IV treatments - still taking the Zometa every six weeks and Procrit every three weeks.
  • Back to see Dr. Olopade and UCMC staff on Monday, August 25th, 2008 to find out how long the new chemo regimen will last.
  • The new Xeolda chemotherapy is two weeks on and one week off - so very tiring and less time in between to rest (*like she rests 8)! )
  • GREAT NEWS ! - with the new Xeloda pills we should all be seeing those lovely locks of hers again! (This chemo does not cause hair loss -- YEAH!)

The next chemo, Herceptin, will be on Tuesday, August 26th, 2008 here at Dr. Sipahi's office -- we just love him and those lovely girls working there.
