Just met with doctor 9pm. Says he does not think temp is from an infection. He thinks its tumor related and that the altitude is causing the symptoms to be elevated. Wants us to go tomorrow morning Thursday, with oxygen to get over mountain. Believes lainey will be much more comfortable at a lower elevation, halelujah !
My job to keep her temp down overnight,
She'll be weak and tired, her red count is low, and the pleural effusion is probably malignant tumor fluid that is coming through the walls from the liver/abdomen into the lower lung area. Got to make sure that is kept at a minimun, doctors in San Ramon may choose to drain it, as long as it doesn't increase in volume the main problem will be malignant cells in fluid in vicinity of the lung. Only thing to do about that is try to whoop it with chemo.
Lainey's cancer is very aggressive, we'll beat it up as long as we safely can, at some point she may have to decide if the battering her body takes at the hands of the chemo is worth the taking.
Cancer stinks bring the ultimate cure Jehovah , Rev 21:3,4
Thanks for all the love and support, calls ,texts,e-mails, cards, i can feel the support lifting us up to endure things we never could on our own. BIG LOVE Keith
