We were able to get in to see the oncologist this morning.  He decided that Lisa can't tolerate chemo in her current condition -- that it would make her worse at this point.  At least for now, treatment becomes "comfort care".  Lisa was given an infusion of fluids, anti-emetic (anti-nausea), steroids, and her first experience with morphine.  She was feeling substantially better when we left the treatment center, and she was able to hold down a good lunch afterwards, something she wasn't able to do over the weekend.

We'll be going back to the treatment center for similar infusions tomorrow and Wednesday, and the doctor is arranging for home-based comfort care treatment.

Lisa's mom is planning to arrive here tomorrow.
