Jenna had a blast at the Preston Rodeo spending time with family and watching all those cowboys and cowgirls!
Jenna went in for her treatment last Thursday, August 4th. There were a few differences in the routine this time around. For starters, they drew Jenna's blood to measure her tumor marker. They said it looked good. They are going to continue everything but the oxiplatin, which is specifically for colon cancer and has a 3 hour infusion. Jenna was happy not having the oxiplatin because it meant she could drink cold drinks, she had an appetite, she didn't have the numbness in her fingers, and she got to leave around 1pm that day!! If they have her off the oxiplatin, they can use it again sometime if they need to. They will continue doing it this way for a while.They also scheduled CT for her sometime in September. That will allow them to see how things are progressing without the oxiplatin.
Jenna is still taking home the fluorouracil (going though her for 48 hours). She was having an at-home care nurse come take out the IV, but she is now doing it herself.
Jenna won't be going back for another 3 weeks. This short break is so she can watch her son Koby play at his soccer tournament.
