TAnn, she is not being treated at M. D. Anderson, but at NW Cancer Center. Her onc was trained at M. D. Anderson and has connections there. We are confident in his treatment of her case.
MaryAnn, Norco is a pain medication Lucie uses between morphine doses when she needs additional aid.
Lucie is fine today. So far, so good. The incident yesterday was not a big deal, folks, because we caught it, but it does point out that you have to watch everything. As I have said many times here, each patient needs an advocate to watch out for them. Even the best places can go awry. Even though the onc approved her having both Navelbine and Aredia on the same day, and it was on the schedule, when the nurse brought the IV bag in, I asked which IV was she going to administer first. She said, "OH, we're just doing Aredia today." I said, "Uh Uh, she gets Navelbine, too". I knew also that I had paid my share of two drugs when I entered, so I knew the desk had it right. So we got them straight. We must be vigilant!
Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes. You guys and gals are the best! Don
