Followed by some not-so-good news
Well, I found out something interesting today. I posted a few days ago about Lymphedema and how my leg is getting unbearable. Well, today, my mom's friend, Sandy, found this article. In it, it tells about how lymphedema can cause fevers because lymph is supposed to be "laundered" as it moves through the system. If the toxic stuff builds up too much, it can cause infection and fevers.
Remember my "mystery fever" before chemo last time?
Now, I know that Dr. H hasn't dealt with this a lot, or he'd know that it could cause the fever. But now that I have this tidbit of information, I'm going to go in armed on Thursday and not let him postpone treatment.
Oh yeah... because I have a fever again...
At least I'm producing red blood cells, right?

Oh dear. I hope that all goes well on Thursday.
Hmmmm.. maybe that's the cause of the mystery fever? If that's the case, hopefully that doesn't postpone the next chemo treatment, which I know you're supposed to be having this week. *crosses fingers*
Hang in there honey.
****hugs**** and prayers.
Praying you don't have to cancel your chemo and that the specialist is able to help you on Fri. Praying for you friend. {{Evie}}
