2/6/15 Chemo denied from PA., numbers good, fatigue given as reason. (Gemzor, Navelbine Day 1/8 to stay treatment)
2/17/15 Next Onc appt. Fatigue has been very prominent and remains from WBRT, I have seen numerous signs of improvement from where she hit bottom. I am confident in WBRT, I fear that unless we address the other issues it may all for not. Is fatigue a reason for denying chemo? In everything that is bad, and it is, but everything that could be positive is.. Thank you Bill Urban
