Journal entry by Heather Lowry —
Today Michelle begins chemo therapy. She will be pretreated with medications to help boost her immune system and make her feel better during chemotherapy treatment. Her chemotherapy regimen includes irinotcan, oxaliplatin, flurouracil and leucovorin. These medications are infused through a Mediport to prevent damage and irritation to her peripheral veins. She will head back home later this afternoon while her chemotherapy will continue to infuse over the next two days. Michelle is in good spirits and is grateful and very touched by all of the love, prayers and support everyone near and far are sending!
