Chemotherapy Treatment Schedule

Tim is now settled into his room (211) at Torrance Memorial and his treament has just begun.  He even had his first visitor: A black lab named Bearcat!
Tim will receive the same treatment daily, at the same schedule, Monday through Friday.
The treatment:
* Etoposide at 2pm for 1-2 hours
* Ifosfamide or Ifex immediately after (approx. 4 pm) for 3 hours
* Mesna or Mesnex (recovery drug) three doses every 3 hours after Ifosfamide
In addition, Tim will receive Zofran and Compazine for nausea and he will have lab work taken every morning.
