Her hemoglobin dropped to 6.2 even after the blood transfusion so now they want to give her two units of blood she’s been in there for 36 hours and still is knots in the pulmonologist the hemoglobin and the pulmonologist are supposed to be in to see her today
Sounds like she has a touch of (my disease - Thrombocytopenia) - I was originally treated with chemotherapy and when that didn't work - had injections in the stomach of a drug called Romoplostim
Don't be scared, I had one. It was OK... I have also been on a ventilator, it was awful but saved my life. Hang in there!
They want her to see another oncologist her husband Nick asked her I’m afraid to ask this because this be a different kind of cancer Jackie said maybe it’s all speculation right now but with Jackie being in the medical field she knows a lot
Hopefully Jackie is correct. These days, a check for growths is a routine procedure, so only a small percentage of them are positive. Even then only a few growths are malignant. It sounds to me like a pathogenic bacterial infection, so don't be too alarmed if they put her on a ventilator while they get rid of the fever.
She has another fever she had to have two nebulizer treatments last night and they gave her something to help her sleep and some Vicodin for the pain she had Oncology blood work done and routine bloodwork done also she still has not seen the pulmonologist
Good news Jackie is less short of breath chest less tight and her hemoglobin went back up Obviously can’t go home yet but doc is happy too see mild improvement still with strong antibiotics waiting on scope test
That is such good news. Don't worry if the hospital want to keep her in and after discharge try to keep her under the direct care of her consultant.
Yeah I video chatted with her she is on 7 litters of oxygen I only chatted for a sec it’s too hard for her too talk still no results on scope test oxygen does drop in they 80,s with movement but not as bad
Update she has a fever 103 her port she had put in her for her chemo treatments that can cause infections if that’s the case they would just have to take the port out she would just have to get poked in the arm for her chemo treatments instead of the port
My sister still has a high fever over 103 they got ice packs for her to bring the fever down but nothing seems to be working I video chatted with her last night she has a bad cough still really sick
