Brochitis strikes again

At chemo 3/26/09 I needed potassium as well as magnesium. Taxol is eating away at these nutrients. The CA125 machine was down so I didn't get a new reading. Felt good over the weekend. Got a request to "See Oma" from Tyler so babysat him Sunday while M&A took in a movie and shopped. Monday at work I started coughing and couldn't stop. Crashed Monday night and took to my bed Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday I went to chemo and Teri ordered a chest x-ray. Diagnosed bronchitis and scripted me a Z-Pack of antibiotics as well as Robotussin DM. Also told me to see my cardiologist as I have fluid around my heart, possibly from the infection but wants me checked out. First appt (a cancellation) is April 29 so Teri is calling cardiologist Monday to see if I can be seen sooner. Dr. Im told me my CA125 had been 49 last week. So it went down 2.5 pts but might be still above normal because of the bronchitis infection. Next Thursday is my "bye" week off of chemo. Never a dull moment.
