They only gave her cisplatin because of the open wound they didnt want to do the taxol that would suppress her immune system. Next week she goes in for blood work and then plan of care to see what well do in 3 weeks. They really are trying to kill the cancer cells which we pray will, then shell have less ascites and the wound will heal quicker

Are they only giving Cisplatin, or will they do the Taxol next?  I found the I/V Taxol pretty easy to tolerate.   Glad the wound is looking better.  Marie
