First day of chemo and radiation

Had the first day of chemo and radiation today.  She seems okay, just as much energy as before, but it’s only the first day.

She was a little week kneed about half hour after taking the chemo drug.  We’ll just have to be careful right around that time.  The physician assistant did say to make sure to have lots of water and a good breakfast since she can’t eat for 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking it.

Also, I want to send a big thank you to Alex, one of my best friends who is a post-doctorate at UCLA.  As soon as he found out about Christina’s condition, he helped me get in contact with the director of the neuro-oncology team at UCLA, who is going to take a look at Christina’s reports and MRI to give us a second opinion.  They may have access to more clinical trials there that can help.

    Make use of UCLA, we have some of the best medical brains on the West Coast at UCLA! Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Christina – son Jeff is sending his all the way from Beijing! Conserve your energy; meditate; breathe.

    By the way, Jesse Lefler is back at White Dragon, I saw her tonight. She will be starting the KF curriculum next Thursday with Mr. Ascensio. Yay!

    Keep smiling!
