he later goes on to say that he will schedule patient to have a __________ placed.  I cannot figure this one out.  Thanks again for all your help.  I may pull my hair out before I get done with this guy.  Not one of my regular doctors and not a specialty I deal with on a daily basis.

1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy
Subject: 1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy

You heard it right. It is "1.2 mg IN 12 cc of chemotherapy."

It basically means the patient received 1.2 mg of a particular chemotherapeutic agent (which would be "specific" to her malignancy and which would be documented in her medical record/chart), mixed in 12 ml of a solvent which could be normal saline/dextrose water/or others, so that that particular chemotherapeutic agent that she is on, can be administered to her in the form of an injection.

Subject: chemotherapy drug - tesplatin??

The doc first states in history that "The patient was admitted at this time to start his chemotherapy regimen with BEP.


 


Then he states, "The patient was started on cycle #1 of bleomycin, etoposide and TESPLATIN?


 


So may be I am hearing BEP wrong and should be BET? because I am hearing TESPLATIN?


 


The patient has testicular cancer if that helps.
