After talking with the medical staff, we're stopping the Ethyol -- at least for now -- since Lisa's body isn't handling it very well anymore. This adds more risk of Esophagitis (irritation/inflammation of the esophagus) but it should be manageable with only three more weeks of radiation treatments (the last one should be May 27).

Also, regarding the Aranesp, after more research and talking with another doctor, we've decided that a blood infusion (if it even becomes necessary) is less risk than that particular drug. We'll talk with the oncologist about it again on Wednesday after the next labs.
