Finally convinced/ordered (delete where applicable) Sam to go to A&E in the early hours of this morning after an evening of shivers, aches and fluctuating temperatures. Turns out her blood count was lower than they were last week. They’re not sure what’s causing the drop or where the infection is coming from so they’re trying to narrow it down. The problem is, if her count isn’t above 1.0 then they won’t be able to proceed with the chemo this Thursday (at the moment it’s 0.6) so hopefully it’ll rise before then. It looks like she’s in here for another couple of days at least.
On the upside, we’ve got a rearranged appointment for the MRI for this Tuesday. Hopefully we’ll find out how we’re progressing with the treatment and what size the lump is when we have the pre chemo appointment with the oncologist on Wednesday.
In the meantime Sam has been told she has to rest in here and try to get her energy back. The drip is reattached to her arm and the jacket potato is on order for dinner.
It’s almost like she hasn’t been away.
