Round Two!

Emily has had a few weeks to recover from surgery and she starts chemo again on Thursday morning. She made the decision to switch to a new oncologist for this round and this guy is rumored to be the top oncologist in this area for breast cancer. He has recommended a chemo regimen of Gem-Carbo, which is considered the "gold standard" for triple negative cancer. She will have 6 treatments, one every two weeks. Supposedly, the side effects of this drug combination are not as bad and definitely not as toxic to her vital organs. Let's hope this round is less debilitating than the last!
