Hey, it is Noelle. We have a little bump in the road this chemo. Two main issues, as far as I can tell: 1. Mom has an infection in or around the port where they put the chemo. She is on antibiotics since Saturday, and they have put her on stronger antibiotics. She needs for this to get better or it is going to warrant a trip to the hospital (I believe for iv antibiotics).
The other main issue is that she did not react well to the shot that is supposed to increase her blood levels. That caused a little fainting episode this weekend, and the Dr. has decided to stop the shot of that is causing the problem. In its place, mom will have to have a series of 5 shots in five days after each chemo. Not the best option, but better than fainting.
She is feeling better than this weekend, and she is trying to schedule less, but help encourage her, and say prayers that we can stay the course and get this over with asap! I'll keep you updated when there is news, definitely this weekend hopefully to let you know the infection has cleared! Noelle
