Back in hospital yet again!
Had bad stomach pains starting on Tuesday that never let up. Also had a temperature that would go up to a little over 100, but would go down with Tylenol. Finally had my husband take me to ER yet again on Friday. Only worked 1 day last week when I had shaking chills and 101 temperature Did all the bacterial cultures still waiting for something to grow. Being treated with antibiotics while waiting.
Was worried they might have to do a resection of the colon and have a colostomy bag, but so far that is on hold.
Had to have a transfusion yesterday which made me feel a lot better. Finally got clear liquids today. I don't want to think about how much weight I have lost. If nothing bacterial grows by tomorrow they are calling in an infection specialist.
Of course my daughter graduates from high school on Wednesday which I may miss.
I was supposed to start chemo again this week.
I am so frustrated because I was pretty healthy before chemo started. The hematologist said they are thinking about a neupogen shot but explained it could push me into AML.
Would appreciate any prayers or good thoughts.
