Sixth and Final Chemotherapy DoneToday Ann had her 6th and last chemotherapy as
scheduled and she is home resting.
This completes her chemotherapy and we are very
pleased to have this milestone behind
us.
The next phase of Ann's treatment plan is radiation. We expect that this will begin about a month from today and that it will consist of radiotherapy each day, Monday through Friday, for six weeks thereafter. We will pass on additional information as we learn more ourselves. In the meantime we are excited about the latest Pixar movie, "Finding Nemo," which was released today. http://pixar.com/featurefilms/nemo/index.html http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/30/movies/30NEMO.html http://www.suntimes.com/output/ebert1/wkp-news-nemo30f.html We hope that Ann is feeling well enough to catch a matinee tomorrow (5/31/03). Thank you for your support. Love, Ann and Nello Posted: Fri - May 30, 2003 at 04:42 PM |
