Another Triple Play Day

Another "triple play" day... chemotherapy, Ethyol injection, and radiation treatment.  Actually, Lisa feels pretty good today after the treatments.  We've found that the steroids that are included as part of the chemo seem to contribute to that, but they only last for about a day.

Lisa's anemia is slightly worse, and the doctor wanted to give her a red cell booster shot to help utilize the iron infusion from Friday, but Lisa declined it.  She's only barely below the threshold for being a candidate for that particular shot (she's at a 9.9 rating, and it has to be 10.0 or below for the shot) so she decided to hold off for now rather than add another chemical into the mix.
