We are so glad to get another chemo day behind us. It was pretty much uneventful. The best part of the day was when the doctor did his exam, he had his ruler in hand ready to measure. Then he said…”There is nothing here to measure!” Pretty cool. He said in the past without the drug perjeta you could expect maybe a 10% decrease. But now they have been recording results like Sarah’s where it just disappears. This will most likely mean no radiation later on.
Today (day after chemo) we expected to be like last time. A Sarah full of energy and little to no side effects. But no. We still have not found that normal ground yet.
She woke up with chills and a slight fever at 3:30 am, and by 7:30 a fever of 102.2. Crazy. Next she had that rash that covered her day 11 back. It covered her from wrist to hip. She felt weak and tired and a little nausea.
Fortunately we were already supposed to go get the booster shot at 10:45. When we arrived, I told Coleen (super nice head nurse) what was going on. Coleen went into action. I think she gave her 5-6 bags of different fluids, some with medicine. She is doing better but tired.
We appreciate and feel all your prayers.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you, sweet Sarah, and love your precious family!
Hi Sarah and James! The kids and I have been praying for you guys. Glad to hear of the good progress and praying it continues. Lori
