I am sitting here in my 4th stay at the hospital. I got here on Saturday, I came in with a 103.1 degree fever, cold chills, and a head ache. It is now Tuesday and we still haven't determined what was causing the symptoms. They thought it was a UTI but have since determined that although there was blood and protein in the urine the bacteria isn't growing. They are now ruling out a UTI and trying to rule out an infection in my port.
I'm really hoping we can get this resolved tomorrow so I can go home and hopefully I will still be able to do chemo on Monday. Monday is suppose to be my final chemo. We then do a PET/CT scan and determine any additional treatment which will be needed.
Update: 8/27 I got to go home! They never determined for 100% sure why I spiked the fever but the antibiotics and fluids helped bring it down. They sent me home on an antibiotic and I am waiting to hear from my blood and urine tests if I get to go to chemo on Monday. The doctor thought there wouldn't be any reason for me to not be able to have chemo though.
