Taking No Chances

As it always have been, schedules and decisions are always evolving due to different circumstances...

The long haul was scheduled to start on 16th Nov, Fri, with the estimated admission date the day before. However, a trip to the cancer centre for a doctor's visit on 12th Nov, Mon, resulted in an immediate admission. Here's the insight of the inside :-

Chemo drug is fed through a permanent tube previously inserted directly to the vein called a Femoral Line. This line is secured by a butterfly plastic flab which is stitched onto the skin. Sometimes body movements can cause abrasions to the skin which in this case led to broken skin. Taking no chance for any kind of infection to undermine the treatment and the fight of immunity during chemo, the doc ordered the admission which of course left him depressed.

With blood cultures taken and antibiotics drips for 4 days, there is no sign of infection and we are on schedule for the high dose to start finally on the 16th Nov!

We are going to Fight and Win this battle!
