This was the first of four to six treatments. I will be at the University of Washington Medical Center for each of them since the treatment requires a six-day hospital stay. Two drugs are used (doxorubicin and ifosfamide): one is infused around the clock for three days, the other once a day for four hours each time. The side effects are substantial, so the hospital stay is required to help mitigate those.
This is the standard beginning chemo treatment for Leimyosarcoma and choosing it will make it possible for me to qualify for clinical trials should I need additional treatment.
