Well Peg is in the process of getting her last treatment for this month. She has been feeling pretty good, although was experiencing so nausea last night and this morning. Her iron has been low, so they need to boost that through injections and oral. If you remember, she was having this same problem after the surgery, almost to the point of them wanting to do a blood transfusion.
For you who like to know specific terms, here are the two chemo drugs she is being given. Carboplatin and Etoposide. To combat the effects of the chemo drugs, she will need to take, once a month, a drug called Neulasta from Amgen. This helps rebuild blood cells. Only challenge is, IT COSTS AROUND $3,000 PER INJECTION! That is insane. Anyways, we found out that our insurance covers 70%, still that's like $800 per shot! wow.
Anyways, all in all, she has been feeling ok, and we are looking forward to a nice Thanksgiving weekend, with her family and my family.
Thanks again for all the prayers, encouragement and offers to help! We are praying for Peg to have minimual side effects, and to come through this process, very strong, and healthy! Love you all - Larry

I claim in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior that Peggy is just going to continue feeling fine, with no side affects from the treatments. He is answering these prayers!!
