Down with Tarceva

All I can say is that Tarceva has got to go! Jon has been remarkably better this week. It is amazing how differently a person can tolerate the variety of chemotherapies. He has done great since Monday and had a decent work out yesterday. Today is his usual "crash and burn" but Jon managed with a short nap and just left to take Kelsey to piano lessons so I can get our dinner going. (We found this awesome studio in Puyallup and Kelsey is growing by leaps and bounds in his music.) We are going to town with the sesame oil (right on, Dena!) in hopes of raising his platelets so we can continue the Gemzar. We are motivated to stay on schedule so that we can have the week off for Staci and Octavio's wedding. We also just realized that if he stays on schedule we can have Tuesday, October 16 to ourselves which just happens to be my birthday. I might drag him to the mountains instead of spending the whole day hooked up to an IV-they say its already snowing at 3500 feet!

So at least for today things are looking up...
