First Oncology Appointment
Yesterday, a friend of Donna's who is also a nurse and familiar with chemotherapy, went with her to see Dr. Orr (oncology). The colon (cecum) cancer is Stage IV with metastasis to the liver and lungs. Donna will have a permanent IV access placed next week and begin chemotherapy on Thursday. Chemo. is infused into the access every two weeks for 48 hours. No colon resection is planned because the tumor is not at risk for blocking the colon. We are still asking for your continued prayers for Donna as she starts with the chemotherapy.
