Well we finally got underway. First of 9 infusions was Thursday.Taxol and Carboplatin. As of today no obvious signs of any side effects. Actually doing well. Current treatment plan is 9 weeks of chemo(if she can take it) followed by a week off and then 7 wks of radiation/chemo. Getting ~2000 calories a day in her and Crohns has stayed calm. Dr emphazized the plan is subject to change as we move along. Actually has gained weight over the last 2 wks. Still exploring other food options. Trying to get her from being too "high" right now.
