Day Three Chasing the Dragon...

It's day three of chemo treatment and Lorrie is really feeling sick. We clearly remember the first time we went through this and the same feelings of nausea and vomiting were the worst about day three. Taking medication for the nausea should take effect soon I hope. Fortunately my suggestion to the doctors to order her fluids to be given three times a week because of her inability to drink enough, should help her alot.
Lorrie met with her Oncologist Dr.Issaccs yesterday to check up on her condition. They have said they are going to follow her condition carefully and after six weeks their plan is to use a P.E.T scan to determine if the tumor is shrinking.
After seeing the doctor she went to her NaturalPath Dr. Rubin who would like to administer the vitamin C therapy treatment to ease the feelings of sickness during the chemo therapy treatment but the Oncologist wont allow it. That is what I have found most disheartening is the fact that one can sit in a room with five doctors from different backgrounds and teachings and get just as many different opinions on how to attack this disease. Your simply left with the opinions of all of them and it is ultimately up to you to determine what course your going to take. Whether looking for an answer in divine intervention or a recommendation from a friend or Physician maybe even a flip of a coin, you will have to make the decision yourself. You want 16,200,000 ways to cure cancer? Go ahead and Google it for yourself. It is Lorries decision to follow the Oncologist decision of therapy and I will support her completely what ever path she decides to take. So, we move forward on day three looking for a glimmer of hope and a miracle for a brighter tomorrow.....
