Chemo part 2

Hi, friends. We decided to do inpatient chemo, which starts today. I'll be in the hospital for 5 days and then home for 2 weeks. The goal is to get through 6 rounds, but we'll do a scan after 2 rounds (6 weeks from now) to see if there is a response. 

Surgery is likely after chemo. 

I'm feeling good about the decision and grateful for all the support. 💜💜💜

Special shout out to Liam who is really holding things down amidst the turmoil of the last 5 months. 

And here we are this morning before school. Nora is upset because she wanted to take the picture (our friend Katherine gets the photo cred; she is here to help this week 😀). And yes Nora is wearing Elsa jellies to school when it's 37 degrees outside. 

Check out Nora's first ever trip to the grocery store. Getting the necessities.  And Fiona hanging with Spidey at the Cbus science museum.

I'll keep you all posted about how things go this week.

Love to all of you,

Molly

p.s. Here is the chemo cocktail. Doxorubicin is the red one. Kinda creepy (many call it the "red devil" because the side effects can be pretty serious), but we're hoping it'll end up being our friend. I do get a nice view of OSU from my room. The stadium is called the Horseshoe and it holds over 100K people--fifth largest in the world. When we biked by it on the river trail, Fiona thought it was a ship!
