Greetings from Children's Hospital. As I mentioned in a previous blog, Morgan had some pending test results. Unfortunately, the CT Scan revealed yet another new lung nodule. This is very small and in the left lung. After a lengthy meeting with Morgan's oncologist the decision was made to proceed with more chemotherapy.
Today Morgan went into surgery to have another port placed. We had surgeon Dr. Maria Alonzo. She used the previous port site for the new port thus avoiding a new scar for Morgan's chest. Morgan did great and is now recovering on the oncology floor. The plan is to begin chemo tonight or in the morning depending on how well Morgan is doing.
Morgan's chemo drugs this time are Ifosfamide and Etoposide. She will receive the chemo for 5 hours a day for 5 days. On day 6 she will receive fluids to help with hydration and if all is well she will be able to go home. She will be home for two weeks and then back for another treatment. The current plan is to do this until November.
Please pray that Morgan will tolerate all these drugs and that side effects will be minimal.
I will update again in a day or two to let you know how the chemo is going. Love, Reena
