FLAG day 3
Within hours of the first infusion of the new chemo drug Nellie's temp shot up to 104 and since then has run between that and 102. Finally this morning the fever broke and she got a reading of 98.2. All counts have had a sudden drop and she needed reds and plts. Whites holding at 3.2 with neupogen by IV daily. Not able to control urine and bowel movements. Having memory dificulties and just a general bad feeling. Not sleeping well and not very alert. Doesn't seem to have too much pain. Not on any pain meds except for 5mgs of Prednesone which she has been taking for years.
One of the nurses said that the more difficult reaction to the drug seems to produce better results.. Well, I hop so. Three more days of chemo left. Keep on praying guys, Thanks.
