Don't bring flowers....Margaret's Chemo Regime
INDUCTION OF REMISSION — The most common remission induction regimen includes cytarabine (cytosine arabinoside, Ara-C, or Cytosar), given continuously for seven days through an intravenous (IV) line. Daunorubicin (Daunomycin, Cerubidine, or Rubidomycin) is given in a single IV dose for the first three days of treatment. This is sometimes known as the "7+3" regimen.

Margaret--Maybe Kathy C. can put one of her "Dog in Training" vests on Cosmo and we can sneak him in to see you. I'm not sure how he would feel about wearing one of the yellow masks though. I have to give that part of the scheme some furthur thought.

Kathy C here....Just ask at the nursing station about a "therapy dog visit" and if its ok, I have the vest and Margaret has the dog. Maybe Dillon can give him a bath and I can make a few adjustments w/the vest and we'll be good to go. It actually has an "in training" patch on it so we'd be legal.

Hey Kathy C., since your game for a therapy visit, let's check with Cosmo's schedule and do it.
