Update from fourth treatment

You have not heard much recently because Teresa's most recent Chemo session was very routine. Her last one, and fourth of six scheduled, was Friday February 17. This time the normal fatigue that shows up from day three through eight was very negilble. There have been no headaches from either of the past three sessions. Apparently, the Claritin works. If you have not heard, we learned from other patients that taking Claritin before the shot that is given 24 hours after Chemo prevents the headaches. Our Oncologist confirms this but neither he nor the drug company have any idea why. We are very thankful for this discovery. We have a pet scan scheduled for Monday, March 5. Dr. Saman expects it to show that the lymphoma tumor has either gone away completely or at least shrunk to a very small size. We are optimistic at this point.
