Went to wrap up series 11 of Taxol yesterday (7/1). Inside lumen on my port gave good blood return but when the outside lumen was accessed, nurse Susan went to get another nurse to look at what was coming out. It was yellowish fluid. Not a good sign. So fluid was sent off for culture and the port was nixed for use. My white count was too low to get chemo so was given Avelox antibiotic and magnesium by IV in arm. Dr. Im's PA gave me a 7-day prescription for Levaquin, another strong antibiotic, and I have an appointment to see Dr. Fitzpatrick, my port surgeon on Tuesday. If there's an anomaly, it's bound to be me. Never a dull moment.
I'm babysitting Daisy while Megan, Alex, Tyler and Jenna travel to Boston to visit the Kriskos. Alex has a conference the early part of next week so M, T & J will visit with Deb, Hugh, Perrin and Andrew. I'll relax at home and perhaps take in a movie, something I haven't done for a while.
