Good things today:
- Dr. C. was back to administer chemo and was able to draw some CSF from the O'Maya Reservoir. This means that there's no need for a spinal tap
- Both types of chemo were given today and Mom didn't have her usual headache from the intrathecal
- A meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow afternoon with the nurse practitioner and social worker to discuss the moving forward plan and options
- Dr. C. would like to add platinum to Mom's treatment plan; this has been shown to be a beneficial treatment when combined with Taxol for triple negative breast cancer
- Mom had pad thai for lunch
- In addition to the insurance coverage running out, we found out today that medications aren't covered. This is due to KGH using a pharmacy that isn't simpatico with Mom's insurance. Part of the meeting tomorrow will be to see if Dad can order the meds from a different pharmacy and bring them in
- Insurance continues to be murky to navigate. We're learning some more about what isn't covered and some things are just completely contradictory and confusing
- In order to start the platinum therapy, Mom needs to eat more and get stronger
