Chemo starts

The biopsy showed I had a high grade osteosarcoma tumor. A second opinion confirmed that it was not associated with the breast carcinoma.
My oncologist said she was going to hit me hard with chemo. She did. Chemo was a combination of drugs given 4 days (24 hr) in hospital.
My hair fell out
My nails turned dark
I had trouble with vision and reading
My white cells crashed
My platelets and red cells were low
I vomited and became very weak

Sometimes my bone marrow did not bounce back and I ran a high fever which sent me back to the ER and isolation in hospital until I could fight infection.

In Feb I consulted with the sarcoma group at University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. It had taken over 4 months to get the financial status application and test results confirmed to get an appoinment with the Adult Sarcoma Group.
