Journal entry by Terre Matthews —
Had bloodwork and Arenespt injection today. Spoke with Dr Inzerillo (oncologist) and decision was made to stop chemo that is no longer working. Getting two units of blood tomorrow.
Still having a good deal of pain even with adding oxicodone to morphine regime.
Seeing Dr McLauren (radiation oncologist) on Monday afternoon to determine if can have radiation to L hip, L lower ribs and possibly area on back.
Since there are no more drugs or treatments and if can't have radiation, then will start talks with hospice.
