Round 2 of 14 begins

Rachel started her 2nd round of chemo today. We still don’t have results from Boston pathology, but the chemo drugs she will have this time around are sometimes used in treating osteosarcoma as well, so her doctors decided to move forward with the treatment and not wait for the results. This round includes 2 chemos – ifosfamide and etoposide – given each day for 5 days.

Rachel noticed her hair started falling out last night; today it got a bit worse.

She tolerated these chemos okay today – the anti-nausea meds did their job and she didn’t really have much in the way of hot flashes.

Rachel had a visit from a service dog today too!
