Journal entry by Sherri Hogstad —
Hello friends and family,
We’re happy to share that Oneita successfully finished her first treatment today! She received a small dose and didn’t have any side effects. Next week she’ll have a stronger dose. The 3rd treatment will be a full dose and done in hospital, where she’ll be admitted and monitored for side effects for 24hr afterwards. She’ll have full treatments from that time forward. She’ll have weekly treatments for 12 weeks, the move to monthly treatments for a total of 2 years.
The experience at UTSW was amazing! She had a private room, overlooking downtown Dallas. She had a TV in her room and the ability to order a meal during treatment if she chose. Every person on staff was very kind, thorough and professional. There’s no doubt she’s in great hands!
