The ‘port’ was implanted successfully this morning at Halifax in Daytona. Our meeting this afternoon with the Oncology Nurse was VERY informative (especially for Matt since he is kind of clueless on such things). We are on target to start two forms of Chemo on Monday April 28th, as well as an Immunotherapy treatment. All three together will provide the best results. These treatments are currently planned to be repeated every 3 weeks. And then periodically I'll be rescanned to see if the treatments are working as expected.

Also on next Monday we have an appointment with the Radiologist to go over the "Pulmonary" test results from last week. At that time we will know the plan for the Radiation treatments as to when those daily treatments can be started.

I am scheduled to have a ‘port’ implanted on Monday, and then we meet with an Oncology Nurse later that day. The current plan is to start Chemo treatments on Monday April 28th, followed by daily Radiation treatments (Monday thru Friday). Hopefully Immunotherapy treatments will get in the mix. Since the cancer is in several lymph node locations around the lung, the Doctors have indicated that some cancer cells may have spread to other areas, thus the aggressive approach will have the best outcome for success!
