Yesterday we got more information from Dr. Savin's office. He agrees with the plan to do TPN (nutrition through Susan's mediport) and will be connecting us with a gastroenterologist. He also plans to do single-agent taxotere as opposed to the combo with gemzar. He thinks the latter would be too hard on her weakened system. Through the gastro guy we plan to arrange home health care for both the TPN and hydration/Mg/K infusions. In the meantime the CT scans from Med City didn't make it to MDA, so Lisa is trying to track them down. Susan's pain and nausea seem to be increasing: much more vicodin and zofran the last few days. On the other hand her fever is somewhat less. Things tend to move at a glacial pace regarding home health, etc and we are nearing the weekend so I imagine not much will happen on these various fronts until next week.
