At this point Jeannette has had two weeks off from chemotherapy. Two weeks ago it was cancelled so her body could have some time to reset. Last week it didn't happen because a new time had never been put into the books.
This week, chemotherapy was scheduled. Kathy Bessette (Emily's mom) took Jeannette to breakfast and then Jeannette went to the lab and had her blood tests done by Bob Bessette (Emily's dad). Tim then met her at the doctors and they talked about the treatment thus far. They all decided it is best to try another type of chemo due to the fact that the original left her in "zombie mode". Therefore they cancelled today's treatment.
The doctor took Jeannette off of the steroids and rescheduled chemotherapy for next week. They will then introduce a new type of treatment. The doctor was encouraged to hear that Jeannette wasn't having any real pain. Jeannette's next appointment will be next Thursday.
On another note, Jeannette and Tim and the family have firmed up some plans to head to Cape Cod for a week this summer. Ocean breezes and lobster dinners... bring it on!
