    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

    They can’t do the blood transfusion because she has a fever 102

    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.

    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.

    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
